2015 Map of Carpenter NE

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau dominates this section of the South Dakota landscape, characterized by its complex glacial topography and numerous small depressions. In this rural environment along the border of Clark and Beadle counties, the land is organized by a strict grid of section lines and local roads like CR-45. This 2015 survey reveals how the natural hydrology of the plains, represented by the meandering paths of Shue Cr, Pearl Cr, and Redstone Cr, interacts with human agricultural patterns. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a precise record of local landmarks, specifically identifying the locations of Woodland Cem and Hague Cem, which stand as quiet markers of the area's rural community heritage.
