About this map

Estelline sits as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in eastern South Dakota, located near the junction of several county lines. The town's community history is reflected in several documented burial sites, including Hillcrest Cem, Estelline City Cem, and the Saint Francis de Sales Catholic Cem. The surrounding geography is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that rises above the surrounding plains.

Water plays a critical role in the drainage of this region, with the Big Sioux River meandering through the north-central area. Numerous small tributaries and intermittent streams like Hidewood Cr, Bullhead Run, and Peg Munky Run carve through the sections. This survey provides a clear view of the section-line road grid that characterizes the rural township structure, showing the precise relationship between local farmsteads and the established transport corridor of S Dakota Highway 28.
