2015 Map of Castlewood

About this map

Castlewood serves as the primary municipal center in this 2015 survey, situated just east of the Big Sioux River and organized along a grid including E Main St and S Oak Ave. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling elevation of the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that influences the local drainage and topography. To the south, the significant waters of Lake Poinsett and Lake Florence define the lower basin, providing a distinct contrast to the upland prairie. The road network is a strict section-line grid of rural avenues and streets, such as 455th Ave and 187th St, connecting the town with outlying locations like Kones Corner. This map documents the persistent agricultural and hydrologic patterns of Hamlin County in the early twenty-first century.
