2012 Map of Artesian NE

About this map

W Redstone Cr and Redstone Cr dominate the drainage patterns of this Sanborn County landscape, cutting winding paths through the agricultural sections of Afton Township. The terrain is defined by a rhythmic grid of rural roads, where avenues like 417th Ave and 423rd Ave intersect with numbered east-west streets from 217th St down to 226th St. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistent section-line road system that has governed South Dakota land use for over a century. Small unnamed depressions and wetlands are scattered between the larger watercourses, such as Jim Cr, showing the natural hydrology that local farmers have navigated through generations of cultivation.
