2015 Map of Cavour

About this map

Cavour sits at the northern edge of this Beadle County landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement along the established section lines of the South Dakota prairie. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Pearl Cr, which meanders from the northeast toward the south, cutting through the grid of townships including t110n r60w and t111n r60w. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural landscape where modern roads strictly follow the Public Land Survey System, creating a repetitive pattern of square sections. The hydrography of Pearl Cr provides a natural contrast to this geometric order, marking the low-lying drainages that have influenced local land use for generations.
