About this map

The James River meanders sharply across this section of Sanborn County, creating a series of complex oxbows and bends that define the local topography. This early 21st-century landscape is characterized by a structured grid of rural roads, including 405th Ave and 234th St, which segment the prairie into agricultural and ranching parcels. Named properties like Rainbow Ranch and Many Trails Ranch sit along the river's path, highlighting the continued importance of the waterway to local land use.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Butler Cem situated near the intersection of 239th St and 408th Ave, a common landmark for tracing early families in the township. Aviation history is represented by the MJ Aviation Airport I in the southwest, while smaller tributaries like Jim Cr feed into the primary river system, illustrating the drainage patterns of the eastern South Dakota plains.
