About this map

Brookings is centered at the junction of regional transportation and higher education, dominated by the expansive campus of South Dakota State University. The map shows a well-defined urban grid that gives way to the agricultural landscape of the Coteau des Prairies. To the west, the Big Sioux River meanders south, joined by Sixmile Cr and N Deer Cr, defining the drainage patterns of the prairie.

Local history is preserved in sites such as Greenwood Cem and Calvary Cem, while the northern and southern fringes of the city include smaller residential clusters like Sunnyview and Sheldon Trailor Town. Infrastructure like the Brookings Regional Airport and a dense network of numbered section-line roads, including 208th St and 210th St, highlight the organized development of the region during the early 21st century.
