2012 Map of Andover SW

About this map

Scotland Cem sits as a lonely marker in the southern landscape of this part of Brown County, where the agricultural grid is deeply established. This 2012 survey captures the prairie terrain of Bates Township defined by the slow, winding path of Mud Cr. The northern sections are dominated by larger water bodies, specifically Amsden Lake and the smaller Pigors Lake, which break the uniformity of the section lines and gravel roads. The transport network is purely rectilinear, consisting of numbered streets and avenues like 139th St and 414th Ave, reflecting the systematic settlement and land management of the South Dakota plains. This map preserves the 21st-century state of these rural crossroads and the hydrology of the Mud Creek basin before further changes to land use or drainage occurred.
