2017 Map of Florence NW

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau rising from the prairie, dominates this 2017 study of the northeastern South Dakota landscape. The map highlights a rural region at the junction of Day, Clark, and Codington counties, characterized by numerous small lakes and wetlands scattered across the undulating terrain. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are meticulously documented, including Wheatland Cem, Saint Pauli Lutheran Cem, and Goodhue Cem. These sites, alongside a rigid grid of gravel roads like Co Rd 36 and 150 St, illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of the township. The absence of major urban centers emphasizes the purely agricultural character of the land on the edge of the glacial coteau.
