2015 Map of Madison NW

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the rolling, potholed geography of this portion of South Dakota, where the landscape is marked by numerous glacial depressions and wetlands. The agrarian character of the region is centered around Spring Lake Colony and the nearby Spring Lake. This 2015 survey illustrates a grid of section roads, such as 217th St and 451st Ave, which separate sprawling fields and small water bodies like Dry Lake and Dooley Slough. To the southeast, the historic Saint Anns Cem overlooks Lake Badus, while Battle Cr drains the undulating terrain. The map captures the boundary intersection of Kingsbury, Brookings, and Lake Counties, reflecting the stable, rural settlement patterns that have characterized this high prairie region for generations.
