2021 Map of Corsica Lake

About this map

Blooming Valley anchors this agricultural landscape in Douglas County, characterized by a regular grid of section-line roads and scattered pioneer-era resting places. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Choteau Cr and the waters of Corsica Lake, which provide a natural contrast to the surrounding prairie. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally well-marked with family and community sites, including Saint John Cem, Blooming Valley Cem, Old Ebenezer Cem, Grandview Cem, and Saint Peters Cem. These sites, situated near the borders of Aurora and Davison Counties, reflect the deep-rooted settlement patterns and community centers established across the South Dakota plains. A network of rural routes such as Co HWY 560 and Co HWY 7 connect these isolated landmarks, tracing the modern paths through traditional homesteading country.
