About this map

The city of McLaughlin serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape in Corson County, established at the intersection of local transport routes and regional section lines. The topography is defined by the winding course of Oak Cr, which carves a drainage through the northern half of the quadrangle. North of the town center, the Protestant Cem sits along the road network, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of South Dakota.

Infrastructure in the early 21st century remains concentrated around the city, including the McLaughlin Municipal Airport to the southeast. The map details an extensive grid of rural roads, such as Kenel Rd and 112th St, that facilitate the agricultural life of the surrounding plains. The survey illustrates the clear division of land into townships, including t22n r26e and t21n r27e, reflecting the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System in this region.
