2017 Map of Brandt

About this map

Brandt sits at the heart of this Deuel County landscape, which is defined by the unique glaciated topography of the Coteau des Prairies. This high plateau, rising above the surrounding plains, is characterized here by numerous glacial wetlands and small water bodies, including Fox Lake and the Cottonwood Slough. The local drainage pattern is dominated by Cobb Cr and its northern branch, N Br Cobb Cr, which meander through a grid of section lines and gravel roads. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the East Highland Lutheran Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians tracing the heritage of this rural community. The map provides a detailed view of the town of Brandt, showing its primary thoroughfares like Jefferson St and Madison St, reflecting the persistent agricultural and settlement patterns of this corner of South Dakota.
