2021 Map of Cottonwood Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Cottonwood Lake and the rolling prairie of the Missouri Plateau define this landscape along the boundary of Hand County and Jerauld County. This region of South Dakota is characterized by a high density of prairie potholes and small depressions, creating a complex wetland network that drains toward Sand Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated agricultural area, where the section-line road grid—including 367th Ave and 220th St—dictates the movement of people and commerce across the rural townships. Near the center of the sheet, the New Zion Cem stands as a quiet marker of the early families who settled these uplands. The terrain's subtle relief, marked by numerous small basins and drainage ways, illustrates the typical glacial topography of the James River Highlands, where water management and road placement are inextricably linked to the natural contours of the land.
