About this map

The Vermillion River meanders through this agricultural landscape on the border of Turner and Lincoln counties. The town of Centerville anchors the southern portion of the map, situated near the confluence where Turkey Ridge Cr joins the larger river system. This region is defined by its grid-based rural infrastructure and numerous family and community burial sites, including the Melhus Cem, Frieling Cem, and Mount Zion Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of the area.

Hydrological management is evident through features like Mears Ditch, which supports the surrounding farmland. Smaller watercourses such as Long Cr and Saddle Cr drain the eastern sections of the quadrangle. The map captures a late 2010s view of this South Dakota prairie, where township roads like 290th St and 464th Ave maintain a strict section-line layout, connecting isolated farmsteads and historic landmarks like the Evangelical Cem and Riverview Cem.
