The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines the geography of this Eastern South Dakota landscape, a region characterized by its distinctive glacial topography and high concentration of prairie potholes and basins. This survey of the border between Clark and Kingsbury counties showcases a rural network of section-line roads, including 196th St which serves as the county divide. The hydrology is dominated by three significant bodies of water: Cherry Lake, Plum Lake, and the northern reaches of Spirit Lake. This 2015 edition provides a precise view of the local grid system, where routes like Plum Lake Rd and Ash St navigate around the natural depressions and marshy terrain that define this upland region. The map reflects the enduring agricultural layout of the townships, where land is divided into systematic blocks punctuated by these permanent and seasonal water bodies.
