2016 Map of Lake Benton SW

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies upland plateau dominates this landscape along the border of South Dakota and Minnesota. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of Brookings and Lincoln counties, where the high prairie terrain transitions toward the drainage of Medary Cr in the south. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional grid system and the local road network, which is anchored by thoroughfares such as Co Hwy 14 and Co Rd 1. For those researching local family history or burial sites, the Stolz Cem is a primary landmark located in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The agricultural pattern is clearly defined by the intersection of numerous numbered township roads and avenues, including 487th Ave and 215th St, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of this borderland region.
