2017 Map of Mayfield

About this map

Mayfield sits at the intersection of rural Yankton County roads, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural landscape in southeastern South Dakota. This region is defined by a series of drainage systems, including the southward-meandering Smoky Run and Clay Cr, which carve through the prairie towards the James River valley in the southwest. A legacy of early settlement is visible through several religious landmarks, most notably the Saint Columba Catholic Cem and the Walshdown Catholic Cem, which along with the Walshdown Cem, indicate the historical Catholic influence in this township. The presence of Marindahl Lake in the eastern portion of the map provides a significant break in the rolling terrain, while the extensive grid of numbered avenues and streets demonstrates the persistent organized land use of the northern Great Plains.
