2017 Map of Lake Preston NE

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the rolling upland terrain of this Kingsbury County landscape, where glacial geology has left a signature of scattered wetlands and depressions. The most prominent natural feature is the Lake Preston Lakebed in the south, a vast basin that influences the local road grid, including the path of Orange Bridge Rd. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, anchored by historical community sites and family-connected landmarks. Several cemeteries, including North Preston Lutheran Cem, Bethania Cem, Hinderlie Cem, and Odden Cem, are distributed across the township lines of T111N and T112N. These sites, often situated near section corners or along gravel routes like 199th St, provide essential touchstones for genealogists tracing the Scandinavian heritage and early settlement patterns of the South Dakota prairie.
