About this map

The agricultural landscape of Brown County is defined by a strictly organized grid of rural roads and an extensive network of water management features. Detroit Cem serves as a significant local landmark, situated amidst the section lines and vast farm plots of the South Dakota plains. The map reveals the intricate water engineering required for this prairie region, specifically through the Crow Creek Drainage Ditch and the Portage Detroit Ditch. These man-made channels intersect the cardinal-direction roads like 408th Ave and 107th St, illustrating the vital role of hydrological management in sustaining the area's twentieth and twenty-first-century farming economy.
