Astoria sits upon the distinctive Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau that dominates the topography of this eastern South Dakota landscape. The town plan is clearly defined by residential streets such as Norden St, Togstad St, and Boren St, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural sections. The map reveals a high concentration of prairie wetlands and water features, most notably the expansive Oak Lake in the southern portion and the meandering Cobb Cr to the north. For those tracing local heritage, the inclusion of Bethany Cem and Bethlehem Cem provides precise locations for genealogical research. The transition between Deuel and Brookings counties is marked along 196th St, showing how the grid of section lines and county roads like Co Rd 517 organizes the movement across this glacial upland.
