The town of Letcher and its surrounding agricultural grid anchor this 2012 study of Sanborn County. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral water systems of Dry Run and Long Lake, which contrast with the structured township road network. In the village itself, the influence of the rail corridor is preserved in the naming of Railway St, while W Main St and E Main St form the local commercial core. To the west of the residential center lies West Lawn Cem, a significant site for genealogical research. Further north along the grid, the locality of Cuthbert marks a secondary point of interest in this prairie expanse, where the intersection of 236th St and 399th Ave defines the rural navigation of the era.
