Coteau des Prairies, a vast glacial highland, dominates the topography of this eastern South Dakota landscape. Surveyed in 2015, the map documents a strictly organized agricultural grid along the boundary of Brookings and Moody Counties. The section lines are clearly defined by an extensive network of rural roads, including 220th St and 483rd Ave, which partition the land into productive townships like t109n r48w. Drainage for these prairie farmsteads is provided by Spring Cr, which meanders through the southern sections of the quadrangle. This detailed topographical record captures the modern infrastructure of the Great Plains, where county routes like Cr 4 and Cr 31 serve as the primary arteries for a dispersed rural population.
