2012 Map of Lake Byron SE

About this map

Lake Byron dominates the western edge of this Beadle County landscape, serving as a primary hydrological focal point in an area defined by its systematic township and range organization. The terrain is structured by a precise grid of rural corridors, from 405th Ave in the west to 410th Ave in the east, which segment the agricultural prairie into uniform sections. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, the meandering path of Shue Cr contrasts sharply with the rigid geometry of the road network, which includes east-west routes ranging from 191st St down to 199th St. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely settled region where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the efficiency of the section-line road system, typical of the James River Valley's agricultural development in South Dakota.
