About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines this corner of Brookings County, where the glacial landscape is marked by numerous sloughs and basins. The terrain transitions from rolling agricultural uplands to the wetland-rich eastern edge, featuring significant water bodies such as Lake Mitchell and the northern reaches of Lake Tetonkaha. The grid of township roads connects isolated community landmarks, including Bethel Cem, Trasta Cem, and Oakwood Zion Cem, which serve as primary anchors for local family history and genealogical research.

On the western edge of the quadrangle, the Arlington Municipal Airport stands as a modern feature amidst the sections of prairie. Water drainage patterns are clearly visible through Moe Slough and Mortimer Slough, illustrating the natural hydrology of the region. The map also captures the local transition to residential or recreational use near the lakes, evidenced by the presence of Oakwood Shoreline Dr.
