About this map

Brookings sits at the heart of this landscape, anchored by the sprawling campus of South Dakota State University. The city is surrounded by a dense grid of section roads like County Road 46 and County Road 77, which cut across the glacial landforms of the Coteau des Prairies. Along the western edge, the Big Sioux River meanders southward, joined by tributaries such as Sixmile Creek and N Deer Creek.

For those tracing local history or family roots, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including Scandinavian Lutheran Cemetery to the north and the clustered Greenwood and Calvary cemeteries near the city center. The northern settlement of Sunnyview and the Brookings Regional Airport further define the 21st-century character of this university town and its agricultural surroundings.
