2015 Map of Crooks

About this map

Coteau des Prairies provides the defining relief for this region of Minnehaha County, where the plateau surface meets the drainage basins of the Big Sioux River. The town of Crooks serves as a local hub near the intersection of several section-line roads, while the smaller settlements of Lyons and Morefield mark the surrounding agricultural landscape. Waterways like Springwater Cr and Willow Cr carve subtle valleys through the prairie, illustrating the natural irrigation patterns of the eastern Dakotas. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Lyons Cem, a quiet landmark located north of the Lyons townsite. The survey details the established grid of 2015, showing a network of numbered avenues and streets that connect these historic communities across the township boundaries of T103N and T102N.
