2012 Map of Estelline SE

About this map

Johnsonville and the nearby Johnsonville Corner anchor this rural landscape in Deuel County, where the topography is defined by the drainage patterns of the Big Sioux River valley. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road system, including 470th Ave and 196th St, which grid the agricultural terrain between small watercourses. Local history is centered at the Saint Johns Cem, located south of the main settlement. The land is intricately carved by several streams with distinctive local names, such as Peg Munky Run and Bullhead Run, which weave through the prairie toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey captures the persistent rural character of Grange Township, showing how modern transportation corridors like the highway along 472nd Ave bypass older established landmarks while following the natural contours shaped by N Deer Cr.
