2015 Map of Bancroft East

About this map

Bancroft occupies the northwestern corner of this Kingsbury County landscape, where the flat agricultural grid of eastern South Dakota meets the distinct glacial geography of the Coteau des Prairies. This highland plateau creates a terrain of numerous small depressions and basins, as evidenced by the winding path of Redstone Cr and isolated bodies of water like Lake Agnew and Spirit Lake. The map details a strictly organized section-line road system, including Cottonwood Ave and a series of numbered avenues and streets that define the rural township structure. This 2015 survey provides a modern record of land divisions and hydrologic features in a region defined by its glacial history and prairie heritage.
