2017 Map of Florence NE

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies upland plateau dominates this portion of northeastern South Dakota, shaping a landscape defined by glacial activity and numerous water bodies. In the northern sections, Bitter Lake and Goose Lake are prominent aquatic features, while the central terrain is marked by smaller basins including Foldager Slough and Arneson Slough. This region, crossing the boundary between Day and Codington counties, preserves a rural agricultural character structured by a rigid section-line road network such as Co Rd 30 and Co Rd 36. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies two specific burial sites in the central-western portion: Lindaas Cem and Egeland Cem. These landmarks, along with the scattered farmstead footprints, provide a detailed look at the settlement pattern of Eden Township and the surrounding prairie during the early twenty-first century.
