About this map

The Big Sioux River meanders through the fertile agricultural landscape of Riverview Township, marking the transition between Brookings and Moody counties. This portion of the Coteau des Prairies plateau is characterized by its glacial upland topography, where the natural drainage of Medary Cr feeds into the larger river system. A significant point of interest for local historians is the Yeo Cem, a small burial ground situated near the center of the survey area, which serves as a quiet reminder of the early farming families who settled this region. The section lines are clearly defined by an extensive grid of rural routes, including Co Hwy B and Co Hwy L, illustrating the structured land division that has governed South Dakota's development. This map captures the continuity of the rural prairie landscape, highlighting the vital relationship between the river valley and the surrounding townships.
