About this map

Big Sioux River meanders across this rural South Dakota landscape, defining the hydrology and drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals a strict section-line road network, where numbered thoroughfares like 221st St and 476th Ave carve the prairie into precise agricultural blocks. A notable point of genealogical interest is the Yeo Cem, situated north of the river near the intersection of 221st Street and 476th Avenue. To the northwest, Medary Cr flows through the corner of the quadrangle, contributing to the watershed of this expansive farming territory. This survey reflects the enduring structure of the American Midwest's land division system, where small family burial grounds and riparian corridors remain the primary landmarks amidst a landscape of high-production field crops.
