2012 Map of Canton SW

About this map

Forest Hill Cem stands as a primary landmark in this rural stretch of Lincoln County, marking a localized pocket of history amidst an expansive agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, primarily the meandering Beaver Cr and its tributaries, S Beaver Cr and Little Beaver Cr, which dictate the drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road system, including 277th St and 473rd Ave, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in South Dakota. This 2012 snapshot captures the area in its modern agricultural state, where the intersection of natural hydrology and a rigid transportation grid remains the dominant spatial characteristic.
