2015 Map of Cottonwood Lake

About this map

New Zion Cem serves as a lone landmark in this section of the Great Plains, located near the intersection of 368th Ave and 220th St. The landscape is defined by the boundary between Hand Co and Jerauld Co, where the prairie is punctuated by scattered wetlands and the waters of Cottonwood Lake. A network of section-line roads, such as 217th St and 371st Ave, creates a rigid grid across the undulating terrain. To the northwest, Sand Cr drains through the rolling hills of Township 109 North. This modern survey captures the enduring rural character of central South Dakota, where large-scale agriculture and natural basins shape the local geography and land use patterns.
