2015 Map of Colton SE

About this map

Skunk Cr and its tributaries wind through the agricultural landscape of the Coteau des Prairies in this upland region north of Baltic. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure along the border of Moody and Minnehaha counties, defined by a rigid grid of section-line roads like 250th St and 470th Ave. Small-scale aviation and local history are anchored by Jensen Airport and the Burk Cem, which remain distinct landmarks amidst the surrounding fields. The corridor is dominated by Interstate 29, which bisects the eastern half of the map, contrasting the high-speed transit of the plains with the slower, established pace of the farmsteads and waterways like Willow Cr that have shaped local land use for generations.
