About this map

Elkton anchors this 2012 survey, situated in the northwestern corner of the quadrangle where Co HWY-13 meets 1st ST. The town’s grid-based street plan, featuring names like Cornelius Ave and Antelope St, centers around its local Post Office, which serves as a landmark for the community. This prairie landscape is defined by its agricultural layout, punctuated by several historic burial grounds including Saint Marys Cem and Trinity Cem.

South of the main settlement, the smaller village of Ward sits along Main St, near the German Evangelical Lutheran Cem. The region is drained by a network of meandering waterways, most notably Spring Cr and Willow Cr, which snake through the section lines of the township. These creeks, alongside Medary Cr and Flandreau Cr, reflect the natural drainage patterns of this South Dakota-Minnesota borderland.
