2017 Map of Broadland

About this map

Broadland anchors the northern portion of this Beadle County landscape, where the street grid of Broadview St and Broadland St transitions into an extensive network of section-line roads. The terrain is characterized by numerous prairie potholes and wetlands scattered across the plains, particularly concentrated through the central corridors. To the south, the expansion of the Huron area is evidenced by the emergence of residential developments and rural throughways such as Appaloosa Trl, Mustang St, and W Park Ave. This survey documents the intersection of modern rural development and the natural hydrology of the James River valley region, providing a clear record of land use and drainage patterns in the decade following the turn of the millennium.
