2012 Map of Cherry Lake

About this map

Plum Lake and the northern reaches of Spirit Lake dominate the hydrology of this Kingsbury County landscape, where glacial depressions form numerous unnamed wetlands across the prairie. The 2012 geography is defined by a rigid section-line road network, including thoroughfares like 430th Ave and 434th Ave, which partition the territory into large agricultural tracts. This pattern of land use reflects the enduring structure of the township system in South Dakota, where rural infrastructure is primarily oriented around moving commodities to regional hubs. Smaller access points like Plum Lake Rd and Ash St provide localized access to the lakefronts, illustrating how the natural topography of the water bodies slightly disrupts the otherwise perfectly linear grid of the eastern plains.
