2017 Map of De Smet SE

About this map

The glacial highlands of the Coteau des Prairies dominate this landscape southeast of De Smet, characterized by a complex network of seasonal wetlands and prairie potholes. The eastern margin is defined by the significant shorelines of Lake Henry and Lake Thompson, which serve as major landmarks in this high-plains environment. Human settlement follows the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, with a gridded road network including Co Rd 6A and numerous numbered routes like 208th St. Local genealogy is anchored by the De Smet Cem Saint Thomas Catholic Cem in the north and the Johnson Cem further south. The drainage of Rock Cr meanders through the western sections, illustrating the subtle topography that governs water movement across Kingsbury County.
