2021 Map of Flandreau NE

About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a prominent upland plateau, dominates the terrain of this agricultural landscape along the border of Brookings and Moody counties. The map documents a meticulously surveyed section-line grid, where roads like 481st Ave and 220th St divide the land into productive squares typical of the Great Plains. The winding course of Spring Cr provides the primary drainage through the eastern sections, cutting a natural path through the otherwise geometric farm plots. This survey illustrates the high-prairie environment where rural transportation relies on a network of county routes, including Co Hwy B and Co Hwy I, which connect isolated farmsteads to the larger regional infrastructure. The absence of concentrated town centers emphasizes the pure agrarian character of this region during the early twenty-first century.
