About this map

Renzienhausen Slough anchors the southeastern landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the complex hydrology of northeastern South Dakota. The area is defined by an extensive network of drainage projects, including the Crow Creek Ditch, Detroit Ditch, and Portage Ditch, which were critical for managing the flat prairie terrain for agriculture. Numerous scattered Flowing Wells suggest a reliance on artesian water sources to sustain the local farming economy across the townships of Portage, Lansing, Detroit, and Shelby.
