2017 Map of Flandreau SW

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies upland plateau dominates this South Dakota landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage networks of Squaw Cr and Spring Cr. These waterways carve through the terrain as they flow toward the Big Sioux River, which winds along the southeastern boundary. The map reveals a strictly organized rural landscape defined by a relentless grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Co Hwy E. Cultural history is preserved at two distinct burial sites: Clare Cem and the nearby North Clare Cem, which serve as the primary landmarks for the farming families who settled this portion of Moody County. The transition from the high ground of the Coteau to the river valley illustrates the fundamental relationship between the region's topography and its agricultural development in the early 21st century.
