2021 Map of Crow Lake

About this map

Crow Lake sits at the heart of this prairie landscape, serving as a prominent hydrological anchor near the border of Jerauld and Aurora counties. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage of Smith Creek and its eastern fork to the north, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the Hawkeye Valley. This area is characterized by a precise section-line road grid, where avenues like 375th Ave and streets such as 240th St divide the land into neat agricultural parcels. Near the southern edge of the survey, the Underwood Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, situated amidst the headwaters of the W Br Firesteel Cr. The map captures the quiet, systematic organization of the South Dakota plains, documenting the persistent rural infrastructure and family landmarks of the region.
