2012 Map of Morris Lake

About this map

Morris Lake and a network of ephemeral prairie waterways anchor this rural Sanborn County landscape. The region's agricultural character is defined by a strict section-line grid of roads, such as 417th Ave and 234th St, which organize the farmsteads across the township. Small water features like Glee Lake and O'Neal Lake break the regularity of the terrain, while drainages including Jim Cr and Dry Run snake through the northern sections. Evidence of early settlement and community history is preserved in the location of the Fedora Cem in the northeast and Farwell Cem in the southwest, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local family roots in this corner of South Dakota.
