2021 Map of Medary

About this map

The Big Sioux River meanders through this portion of the Coteau des Prairies upland, defining the landscape where Brookings and Moody Counties meet. This modern survey illustrates the recreational and agricultural character of the region, anchored by the community of Medary and the residential clusters surrounding Lake Campbell. Along the western edge, the East Lake Campbell Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families near the Lake Campbell Outlet. The terrain is marked by the distinctive glacial plateaus of the Coteau, with drainage provided by Battle Creek and Deer Cr. Water-based recreation is a prominent feature, evidenced by the Jay Heath Canoe & Kayak Trl which follows the river's course, while a dense grid of county roads like Co Rd 22 and Medary Ave S connects the scattered farmsteads and lakeshore developments.
