2012 Map of Ethan

About this map

Ethan anchors the western portion of this Davison County landscape, where the town's grid is clearly defined by streets such as E Main St and E Maple St. A centrally located Po marks the community hub, while the surrounding countryside is organized by a meticulous network of section-line roads, including 413th Ave and 264th St. The meandering path of Twelvemile Cr provides a natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the agrarian landscape, winding its way southeast toward the map's lower margin. Just east of the township, Ethan Lake serves as a prominent local water feature. This survey records the rural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century, detailing the transition from organized town streets to the expansive fields and drainage patterns of the South Dakota plains.
