2015 Map of Kidder SE

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau dominates this northeastern South Dakota landscape, where the elevation drops into distinct drainages like Marble Gulch and Oak Gulch. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by glacial activity and a network of persistent wetlands, including Black Slough and Stink Slough in the southern reaches. The hydrology of the region is centered on the winding path of Wild Rice Cr and the smaller Crow Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections. A rigid grid of section-line roads, such as 431st Ave and 107th St, provides the primary structure for the area, connecting the sprawling farmsteads typical of Marshall County. In the northwest, White Lake sits at the edge of this section-line network, illustrating the intersection of the prairie's natural depressions with the region's systematic land division.
