About this map

The James River meanders along the eastern edge of this prairie landscape, defining the boundary for much of the water-shaped terrain in this region of South Dakota. In the northern reaches, Stony Run feeds into the main river channel, while Sand Cr flows through the southwestern portion of the map. This area is characterized by its organized grid of rural roads, including 400th Ave and 220th St, which trace the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Located near the central boundary between Beadle and Sanborn Counties, the Aquilla Cem stands as a quiet focal point for local history and genealogical research in this agricultural expanse. The map illustrates a late 20th-century rural settlement pattern where traditional land divisions remained the primary structure for habitation and transit.
