About this map

The Broadland settlement and its surrounding agricultural lands define this section of Beadle County, where the plains are bisected by the meandering course of the James River. The landscape is structured by a rigid section-line road grid, including Co Rd 8, 197th St, and 396th Ave, which service the scattered farmsteads and rural properties. Local history is anchored at the Broadland Cem situated on the southern edge of the township, providing a key point of reference for genealogists researching families from the t112n r63w and t113n r63w survey blocks. The presence of numerous small prairie potholes and depressions across the terrain suggests the characteristic glaciated topography of the eastern South Dakota plains.
