2017 Map of Carpenter NE

About this map

The high plateau of the Coteau des Prairies defines the geography of this Beadle County landscape. The terrain is marked by a complex network of glacial depressions and drainage patterns, with the waters of Shue Cr and Pearl Cr flowing southward toward the Redstone Cr system. This 2017 survey documents a predominantly agricultural region organized by a rigid section line road grid, including Co RD 36 and 182nd ST. Local history is anchored by the presence of Woodland Cem and Hague Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the rural communities that established themselves near the Clark Co Beadle Co border. The map provides a clear record of the intersection between natural drainage and human settlement patterns in the eastern South Dakota plains.
