Coteau des Prairies, a vast upland plateau, defines the topography of this Brookings County landscape. The region is marked by glacial depressions and water features typical of the prairie pothole region, including Lake Mitchell, Moe Slough, and the western reaches of Lake Tetonkaha. The agricultural character of the area is underscored by a rigid grid of rural routes such as 457th Ave and 203rd St, which connect isolated homesteads and local landmarks. For those tracing family histories in the Arlington area, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Bethel Cem, Trasta Cem, and Oakwood Zion Cem. Near the southwestern corner, the Arlington Municipal Airport serves as a modern waypoint in this otherwise traditional farming landscape, reflecting the long-term patterns of settlement and land use across the South Dakota plains.
