2015 Map of Lake Preston East

About this map

Lake Preston anchors the northwestern corner of this Kingsbury County landscape, where the town limits meet a series of dramatic glacial water bodies and depressions. The geography is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a vast upland plateau that shaped the region's drainage and settlement patterns. Notable water features include the expansive Lake Whitewood and the nearby Lake Preston Lakebed, which illustrate the fluctuating water levels characteristic of the eastern South Dakota plains. A grid of section roads, including Orange Bridge Rd and numbered avenues such as 445th Ave, provides access to the agricultural interior. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of United Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle serves as a vital marker of the early community and its rural families.
