2017 Map of Crow Lake

About this map

Crow Lake and its surrounding prairie wetlands dominate this South Dakota landscape, providing a clear view of the water and drainage patterns in the northern plains. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Smith Cr and the East Fork Smith Creek in the north, while the southern section is drained by the W Br Firesteel Cr. Historically significant markers for genealogists and local historians include the Underwood Cem located near the southern boundary and the named area of Hawkeye Valley to the east. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of section lines and local roads like 372nd Ave and Co Rd 8, which follow the Jerauld County and Aurora County line, reflecting the systematic agricultural development of this rural region.
