About this map

Mcpherson Co Edmunds Co defines the central axis of this landscape, marking the political boundary between two rural South Dakota counties. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small wetlands and prairie potholes typical of the glaciated plains, which dictate the winding paths of section roads. A rigid grid of transportation routes, including Co Hwy 16 and Co Rd 3, provides the primary structure for the agricultural homesteads scattered throughout the townships. Historically significant for its Public Land Survey System (PLSS) layout, the map illustrates the intersections of t125n r73w and t124n r72w, where rural life is organized by mile-square sections. The absence of concentrated town centers highlights the purely agrarian character of the region during this period.
