2015 Map of Flight Lake

About this map

Flight Lake anchors this survey of the high plains along the boundary between Walworth Co and Potter Co. The landscape is defined by a rigid section-line road grid, including 311th Ave and 151st St, which organizes the agricultural territory of north-central South Dakota. This late-modern survey reveals the enduring placement of early community landmarks, such as Prairie Grove Cem in the northern sections and Pembroke Cem further south. These sites, along with the scattered wetlands and intermittent water bodies typical of the region, provide a clear record of the rural spatial organization in the Missouri Plateau area during the early 21st century.
