About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a vast upland plateau, dominates the landscape of this eastern South Dakota borderland. The topography is defined by the gentle drainage of Peg Munky Run and N Deer Cr which flow toward the Big Sioux River visible in the southwest corner. The area is divided by the boundary between Deuel and Brookings Counties, following the line of 196th St.

Family history is anchored at Saint Johns Cem and the small settlement of Johnsonville, situated along the grid of township roads. This survey illustrates the persistent agricultural character of the region, where a dense network of avenues like 471st Ave and 472nd Ave serves isolated farmsteads. The land remains strictly partitioned according to the Public Land Survey System, reflected in the township markers of t113n r50w and t112n r50w.
