2017 Map of Flandreau NE

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau dominates this section of the South Dakota landscape, characterized by the distinct glacial upland terrain that separates the Missouri and Mississippi river basins. The map illustrates a strictly organized agricultural grid across the boundary of Brookings and Moody counties, where section lines are traced by a network of rural roads such as 217th St and Co Hwy B. Drainage through these highlands is represented by the winding course of Spring Cr, which cuts through the otherwise geometric regularity of the township and range system. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent rural character of the region, documenting the modern infrastructure of the Coteau's prairie landscape.
