2015 Map of Clear Lake South

About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau rising above the surrounding plains, dictates the drainage and settlement patterns in this corner of Deuel County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Hidewood Cr and the presence of Clear Lake at the northern edge. Agricultural section lines and rural roads like Clear Lake Rd and CR-314 create a geometric grid across the varied elevation of the coteau. Local history is anchored by the small settlement of Brandt on the eastern boundary and quiet landmarks such as Lake View Cem and Highland Cem. These features, along with small waterways like N Br Cobb Cr and Bullhead Run, reveal the persistent rural character of eastern South Dakota in the early twenty-first century.
