The town of Aurora sits at the heart of this Brookings County landscape, established upon the distinct glacial upland known as the Coteau des Prairies. The survey illustrates a well-defined agrarian grid typical of eastern South Dakota, where the eastern edge of Brookings and the smaller settlement of Bushnell are linked by a network of sectional roads like 212th St and Co Rd 23. Water drainage follows a southeastern trend through Sixmile Cr, Deer Cr, and Medary Cr, carving subtle relief into the prairie.
