2021 Map of Crystal Lake

About this map

Crystal Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Aurora County township, surrounded by the distinctive grid of the Public Land Survey System. The area is defined by its agrarian structure, with section lines marked by a network of rural roads such as 378th Ave and 384th Ave. This particular region, including townships t103n r65w and t102n r64w, shows the intersection of local travel and modern logistics, where the established county road system meets the high-speed corridor of Interstate 90. The topography is characterized by numerous small wetlands and depressions typical of the South Dakota prairie, creating a complex hydrology around the primary water body. This 2021 survey serves as a precise record of contemporary land use, showing how the historic section-line road pattern remains the backbone of the rural community.
