About this map

Powell sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section lines in this corner of Edmunds County, South Dakota. The area's agrarian roots are visible through the precise township boundaries, including t121n r68w and t121n r69w, which organize the landscape into uniform square miles. Near the settlement, Pleasant Hill Cem provides a focal point for local genealogical research, marking a historic community center along 145th St. The terrain is characterized by numerous small, scattered wetlands and depressions that interrupt the straight paths of local thoroughfares like 358th Ave. This survey records the late-modern landscape of the northern plains, where the dominance of the Public Land Survey System remains the primary influence on infrastructure and land use.
