2015 Map of Garden City

About this map

Garden City and the small settlement of Elrod define the human landscape of this Clark County map. Situated on the Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau rising above the surrounding plains, the area is marked by the distinctive glacial topography of the region. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road grid, including Cr-29 and numerous numbered avenues like 431st Ave, which segment the prairie into agricultural blocks. Local history is anchored at the Garden City Cem and within the residential layout of Garden City itself along 1st St SW. Natural depressions in the terrain are evident at Mankey Slough, illustrating the typical prairie pothole hydrology that characterizes this portion of South Dakota. The survey provides a clear view of the mid-20th-century rural infrastructure, from township boundaries like t117n r56w to the intricate network of local farm roads.
