2021 Map of Miscol

About this map

The Grand River meanders across the northern reaches of this landscape, carving a series of deep loops into the prairie terrain of Corson County. Near the northwestern corner, the Brown Church Cem stands as a significant point of local history and genealogy, serving as a landmark for the families of this rural region. The topography is defined by the drainage patterns of both the river and Plum Cr, which flows through the southern section of the sheet. The small settlement of Miscol is positioned centrally among the vast township grids, including t20n r24e, illustrating the dispersed nature of habitation in this part of South Dakota. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the relationship between the prairie plateaus and the watercourses that have shaped the agricultural and social layout of the area.
