2015 Map of Arlington

About this map

Arlington sits at the intersection of early settlement patterns in Eastern South Dakota, where the boundary between Kingsbury and Brookings Counties defines the landscape. The town plan is preserved in detail, featuring a grid of residential and commercial streets including S Main St, W Cottonwood St, and S Spruce St. Outside the town center, the land is marked by a series of burial grounds that anchor the local genealogy, such as Nordland Cem to the northwest, Arlington Cem to the east, and Pleasant View Cem to the south. The natural topography is characterized by the prairie pothole region's distinctive hydrology, with the large expanse of Lake Whitewood dominating the western edge and Twin Lakes situated to the southeast, reflecting the glacial heritage of the Dakota plains.
