About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau dominates the eastern landscape of this Kingsbury and Beadle County boundary region, where a complex network of prairie streams drains the glacial terrain. In the southeast, the LeSueur Cem serves as a significant genealogical marker for the rural community in Le Sueur Township. The hydrology is particularly intricate here, with several branches of Pearl Cr, including Middle Pearl Cr and the S Fork Pearl Cr, cutting across the township lines. These waterways, along with Redstone Cr and Shue Cr, define the natural drainage patterns of this agricultural area. The map illustrates a rigid section-line road grid, including Co RD 8 and Co RD 56, which facilitated the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century farming economy across this high plains environment.
