2012 Map of Canova East

About this map

W Fork Vermillion River and the Little Vermillion River carve north-south paths through this rural Miner County landscape, defining the hydrology of the eastern South Dakota prairie. The map reveals a strictly regulated section-line road network, where avenues like 436th Ave and streets such as 241st St create a uniform grid across the agricultural terrain. Located near the intersection of 436th Ave and 241st St, the Canova Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark for the surrounding township. This 2012 survey documents the persistent rural character of the area, punctuated by numerous small depressions and wetland pockets typical of the region's glaciated topography.
