2017 Map of Crocker

About this map

Crocker sits within the distinct topography of the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that defines this portion of eastern South Dakota. The landscape is characterized by numerous seasonal and permanent water bodies, ranging from the larger Round Lake and Reid Lake in the southeast to the scattered wetlands of Twin Sloughs and Mallard Slough. This 2017 survey reflects the area's continued reliance on a sparse grid of section-line roads, including Co RD 2 and Co RD 22, which connect the small settlement of Crocker with outlying farms and landmarks like the Lone Tree Airport. Genealogists and local historians will find the Saint Thomas Cem clearly marked near the center of the township, serving as a focal point for the rural community amidst the prairie terrain.
