2021 Map of Carpenter

About this map

Carpenter serves as the primary hub for this agrarian landscape where the high plains begin to rise toward the Coteau des Prairies. The survey reveals a region defined by precise section lines and county boundaries, where Spink and Clark counties meet. Local history is anchored by the presence of Union Cem and Richland Cem, which stand as quiet landmarks among the expansive farm plots. The drainage of Foster Cr meanders through the northwest, highlighting the subtle hydrologic patterns of the eastern Dakotas. This 2021 update preserves the contemporary rural infrastructure, including the grid of secondary routes like Co RD 17 and Co RD 53 that facilitate the movement of goods in this remote corner of South Dakota.
