2017 Map of Castlewood

About this map

The Big Sioux River meanders through the eastern portions of this quadrangle, defining the agricultural landscape of Castlewood in the late 2010s. The town of Castlewood serves as the local hub, organized around a grid that includes Main St and Market St, along with the Po and historic burial sites such as Castlewood Cem and Saint John's Catholic Cem. This area is situated atop the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that accounts for the numerous small wetlands and lakes scattered across the prairie. To the south, the significant waters of Lake Poinsett and the smaller Lake Florence dominate the terrain. This map captures the modern rural infrastructure of Hamlin County, where section-line roads like 457th Ave and 184th St connect isolated homesteads and corners like Kones Corner.
