2017 Map of Bowdle SW

About this map

United Methodist Church Cem and the Seventh - Day Adventist Cem sit within a landscape defined by the prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands of the Missouri Coteau. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the rural expanse of southern Edmunds County, where the terrain is marked by the winding course of Swan Lake Cr and the presence of Alkali Lake in the southeast corner. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of section lines and secondary routes like Co Rd 10 and Co Rd 1A, which connect remote farmsteads and historical burial sites such as the Congregational Cem. Straddling the border with Walworth County, this area represents a classic South Dakota agricultural interior, largely unchanged in its spatial layout since the early days of township settlement.
