2021 Map of Crocker SW

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies, a vast glacial plateau, defines the topography of this eastern South Dakota landscape. This map captures the intersection of the Spink Co Clark Co border, where the rectangular survey system creates a rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads across the undulating prairie. The primary east-west artery is S Dakota Highway 20, which traverses the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The area is characterized by the high-elevation wetland complexes and numerous small basins typical of this geographic region, often referred to as the "hills of the prairies." Local transit relies on a network of rural routes including Co Rd 1 and 412th Ave, which connect the agricultural homesteads and section corners that form the backbone of the local community and land management.
