2012 Map of Lake Herman

About this map

Lake Herman and its adjacent Herman Slough dominate the northeastern corner of this landscape, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The 2012 survey illustrates a well-defined section-line road network typical of the Great Plains, with 451st Ave and 235th St providing the main corridors toward Camp Lakodia on the southern lake shore. Further south, the small settlement of Orland sits at the intersection of 241st St and 451st Ave, positioned between the drainage systems of Silver Cr to the north and N Buffalo Cr to the south. This map details the modern rural infrastructure of Lake County, documenting the persistence of small communities and the systematic land divisions that characterize eastern South Dakota's farming country.
