About this map

The county line between Edmunds and Faulk counties defines the northern edge of this prairie landscape, where a network of section-line roads like 366th Ave and 149th St organize the terrain. Water dominates the eastern and western margins, notably at the North Scatterwood Lake and South Scatterwood Lake basins. These shallow prairie potholes and drainage ways, including Preachers Run and Perry Cr, characterize the glaciated topography typical of north-central South Dakota. For genealogists and local historians, the United Cem stands as a primary landmark of early settlement near the township boundaries. The map reflects a highly structured rural economy, where small wetlands like Tomek Slough coexist with the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how geography and legislation shaped the settlement of the Plains.
