About this map

Kloucek Lake and its surrounding prairie landscape define this part of Yankton County during the early 21st century. The terrain is organized by a strict section-line road grid, where north-south routes like 425th Ave and 427th Ave intersect with east-west corridors such as 296th St and 300th St. This systematic division of the land highlights the agricultural heritage of South Dakota, with the natural drainage provided by Prairie Cr and Beaver Cr meandering through the structured fields.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle. These include the Ebenezer Cem in the north, Reform Cem centrally located and to the east, along with Petersburg Cem and Gall Cem. These sites serve as focal points for local history, marking the settlement patterns of families in the Lesterville Township area outside of established municipal boundaries.
