2012 Map of Florence NE

About this map

Goose Lake dominates the northern landscape of this prairie region in Eden Township, where the terrain is defined by glacial depressions and wetlands. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural environment structured by a rigid section-line road grid, including 442nd Ave and 148th St. The inclusion of Egeland Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this portion of Codington County. Smaller water bodies like Foldager Slough and Arneson Slough are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the characteristic prairie pothole geography of eastern South Dakota. The lack of concentrated urban development highlights the area's ongoing role as a rural farming and waterfowl habitat.
