2015 Map of Ethan

About this map

Ethan stands as the primary settlement on this 2015 record of the Great Plains landscape, positioned near the western edge of the quadrangle. The town's grid is centered on E Main St, surrounded by the expansive agricultural sections of Davison Co and Hanson Co. A defining natural feature of the area is Twelvemile Creek, which meanders through the southeastern portion of the map, creating a distinct riparian corridor amidst the township lines of t101n r59w and t102n r59w. The map documents a prairie landscape managed by a regular grid of section roads including 260th St and 267th St, highlighting the enduring township-and-range surveying system. For local historians, the inclusion of Rosedale Cem in the northeast corner and the reservoir at Ethan Lake provide specific points of interest within this rural South Dakota community.
