2021 Map of Daly Corners

About this map

Daly Corners centers this Brown County landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid of section lines creates a persistent framework for South Dakota's agricultural interior. The map illustrates a highly managed prairie environment, defined by a network of numbered roads like 113th St and 401st Ave that delineate township and range boundaries such as t126n r61w. Evidence of early community settlement persists at the Houghton Cem in the north, while the presence of the Auto Tour Rte suggests the area's modern role in managed nature observation. Human intervention in the hydrology is clearly marked by the Crow Cr Drainage Ditch, which cuts diagonally across the southeastern townships to manage the seasonal wetlands and prairie potholes that characterize this part of the James River Valley region.
