2010 Map of Elkton

About this map

The agricultural plains of Brookings County are defined by a grid of rural roads and meandering prairie waterways in this 2010 survey. The city of Elkton serves as the primary hub in the northern section of the map, while the smaller settlement of Ward anchors the southern portion. Local genealogy and burial history are preserved at Saint Marys Cemetery and Trinity Cemetery, both located near the Elkton town site. The landscape is characterized by a sophisticated drainage network including Spring Creek, Medary Creek, and Willow Creek, which wind through the sectioned farmland. These creeks, along with Flandreau Creek and Mud Creek, illustrate the hydrologic patterns of the region, where the terrain gently slopes toward the Big Sioux River basin. The intersection of local infrastructure like County HWY-10 and Cornell Ave highlights the modern connectivity of these historic farming communities.
