2021 Map of Lake Andes

About this map

The Lake Andes townsite serves as the center of activity on this prairie landscape, where the Charles Mix County Courthouse anchors the local government. To the east of the primary settlement, the lake itself dominates the hydrology of the region, flanked by smaller communities like Dezera. The grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as Co Rd 42 and 291st St, illustrates the organized agricultural expansion of the South Dakota plains. For those tracing family histories, several burial sites are documented across the township, including the West Lake Andes Cem to the northwest and the Saint Philip Deacon Cem near the southern shoreline. Drainage across the rolling terrain is marked by seasonal waterways like Garden Cr and White Swan Cr, while the Goose Lake basin to the north highlights the pothole geography characteristic of the region.
