2012 Map of Forestburg

About this map

Forestburg stands as a central point of activity along the section lines of Sanborn County, where the grid of agricultural roads meets the winding path of the James River. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape defined by the intersection of man-made drainage and natural watercourses, including the channel of County Ditch Number 14 and the curves of Redstone Cr. To the south, Ruskin Park occupies a bend in the river, while the solitary elevation of Big Mound rises above the surrounding plains to the north. The map details the local infrastructure of the era, from the intersection of Main St and Corliss Ave to the path of River Rd, providing a clear view of this rural South Dakota community's geography at the start of the twenty-first century.
