2021 Map of Bancroft West

About this map

The Osceola settlement area, situated near the western edge of the Coteau des Prairies plateau, defines this part of the Kingsbury County landscape. The township grid is clearly marked by a systematic network of section roads like 418th Ave and 202nd St, facilitating the agricultural movement across the plains. Local landmarks including the Faith Mennonite Cem and the small Osceola Lake suggest a close-knit rural community structure organized around central crossroads and natural water features. The terrain is characterized by the headwaters of the S Fork Pearl Cr, which meanders through the eastern townships. This 2021 survey also captures the northern outskirts of Iroquois and the village of Bancroft, providing a detailed view of these established South Dakota prairie settlements.
