About this map

Kimball sits at the northern edge of this Brule County landscape, where the town's street grid meets the expansive section lines of the South Dakota prairie. The map shows the community's primary layout, including the Po and a network of thoroughfares such as Main St, Pine St, and W Broad St. On the western outskirts, the Kimball Cem and Saint Margarets Cem serve as important anchors for genealogical research.

South of the settlement, the terrain is defined by a strictly surveyed grid of agricultural roads, including 362nd Ave and 252nd St, occasionally interrupted by natural drainage patterns and the distinct arc of Cahill Curve. The transition from the structured blocks of the town to the large-scale land divisions of t103n r68w and t102n r68w illustrates the region's enduring reliance on the Public Land Survey System for organizing its rural economy.
