2015 Map of Goodwin

About this map

The settlement of Goodwin serves as the focal point of this Eastern South Dakota landscape, situated along the southern edge of the Coteau des Prairies highland. The region is defined by a dense cluster of glacial lakes, including Round Lake, Bullhead Lake, School Lake, and the sizeable Wigdale Lake. These water bodies are connected by a network of seasonal drainages such as Willow Cr and Stray Horse Cr, while the S Fork Yellow Bank River traverses the northern section near the Grant County line. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies the Goodwin Cem and Larson Cem, providing specific locations for family history work in Deuel County. The township grid is well-established, with roads like Chicago Ave and Dixon Ave forming the small-town core of Goodwin, transitioning into a rural network of numbered avenues and streets that cross the prairie.
