2021 Map of Brookings NE

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies highland region defines the topography of this Brookings County landscape, where the Big Sioux River flows along the western edge. This modern digital survey reveals a persistent agricultural grid defined by section lines like 468th Ave and 200th St, punctuated by several community landmarks that speak to the area's pioneer heritage. Genealogists will find the precise locations of several burial grounds, including Saint Petri Cem and the Sterling Methodist Cem near the eastern border. The drainage patterns of N Deer Cr wind through the township, influencing the placement of local routes like Northgrove Loop. The map provides a clear record of rural South Dakota's contemporary infrastructure, from established county roads to the smaller tracks serving the upland prairies.
