2015 Map of Canova SE

About this map

The rolling agricultural lands of eastern South Dakota are defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a massive plateau that creates the distinctive drainage patterns seen across this landscape. This 2015 survey documents a section of the prairie where Miner, McCook, and Hanson counties meet, a region dominated by a strict section-line road grid such as 247th St and 432nd Ave. The hydrology is primarily dictated by the winding path of Wolf Cr, which meanders through the township sections. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies two significant landmarks: Pleasant Hill Cem and Hillside Cem, both of which serve as enduring anchors for the surrounding rural community. The map preserves the exact layout of rural homesteads and farm infrastructure as they existed in the early 21st century.
