2017 Map of Lake Preston East

About this map

Lake Whitewood dominates the central landscape of this Kingsbury County region, situated atop the distinctive Coteau des Prairies highland. This topographic study captures the town of Lake Preston as it is integrated into a strictly defined section-line grid of rural roads like 444th Ave and 212th St. The northern reaches of the map show the Lake Preston Lakebed, indicating the ephemeral nature of water bodies in this prairie environment. Local history is anchored by the United Cem located in the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and wetlands typical of the glaciated plains, with the municipal streets of Lake Preston such as 1st St NE and Park Ave S transitioning into the vast open fields that characterize this portion of South Dakota.
