About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a vast highland plateau, defines the character of this landscape on the border of Day and Codington counties. The terrain is marked by numerous glacial depressions, including the prominent Goose Lake in the northwest and smaller wetland features like Foldager Slough and Arneson Slough. This region reflects the typical prairie pothole ecosystem of eastern South Dakota, where the drainage patterns follow the natural dips in the glacial till. Near the center of the sheet, the Egeland Cem stands as a focal point for local genealogical research, situated among a regular grid of section roads like 152nd St and 154th St. The map captures a rural township structure defined by the Public Land Survey System, showing the precise township and range boundaries that have organized this agricultural and pastoral land since the nineteenth century.
