2015 Map of Forestburg SW

About this map

Sanborn County agriculture and drainage systems define this 2015 landscape, where an intricate network of man-made waterways like County Ditch Number 8 and County Ditch Number 21 intersect the natural course of Sand Cr. This section of South Dakota is marked by the rectilinear grid of rural roads, including 230th St and 400th Ave, which organize the farmsteads and fields of the prairie. Local heritage is preserved at two sites of interment, Bethany-Silver Creek Cem and Silver Creek Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for genealogists tracing families in the area. In the southern reach of the survey, the terrain yields to the waters of Long Lake, showing the characteristic wetland depressions that dot this region.
