About this map

Joubert sits at the center of this rural landscape, marking a remote settlement point where the agricultural grid of south-central South Dakota meets a complex network of prairie waterways. The terrain is defined by the passage of Platte Creek and its tributary, E Fork Platte Cr, which navigate the northern reaches of the quadrangle. A sophisticated drainage system, including the Sluiter Drain and Meadow Drain, suggests a managed hydrology designed to support the surrounding farmland.

Surface water is a prominent feature of the area, with Joubert Lake and Carroll Lake providing local landmarks amidst the section lines. This 2015 survey illustrates the enduring township-and-range structure of the Great Plains, where Douglas, Aurora, and Charles Mix counties converge. The map documents the precise intersection of county routes like CR-47 and CR-48 with the numbered section roads that facilitate movement across this sparsely populated region.
