2017 Map of Artesian NE

About this map

W Redstone Cr and Redstone Cr wind through this prairie landscape at the junction of four South Dakota counties. This section of the James River basin is defined by its precise section-line road network, where routes like 220th St and 418th Ave serve as the primary conduits between agricultural tracts. The map illustrates the convergence of Sanborn, Miner, Beadle, and Kingsbury counties, showcasing a rural terrain where natural drainage patterns of Jim Cr intersect with a rigid human-imposed grid. The density of seasonal wetlands and small water bodies across these townships highlights the area's characteristic glacial till topography, which has dictated the placement of homesteads and field boundaries since the initial land surveys.
