About this map

The agricultural landscape of Miner County is defined by a grid of section-line roads and the meandering courses of local waterways. Wolf Cr flows through the western portion of the quadrangle, while the W Fork Vermillion River cuts across the northeastern corner. This area reflects the late twentieth-century development of South Dakota's prairie, where small-town life centers around the intersection of rail and road.

In the southeast corner, the outskirts of the local settlement are visible along W Main St and N Railroad St, where the community Po serves as a central hub. Genealogists will find the location of Saint Pauls Cem particularly useful for tracing family ties in the township. The map provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure, including a dense network of numbered avenues and streets that facilitate the region's farming economy.
