2012 Map of Newark SW

About this map

Renzienhausen Slough dominates the low-lying hydrology of this South Dakota landscape, where the meandering course of Crow Cr cuts through the prairie. The map depicts a highly structured grid of section-line roads, such as 111th St and 414th Ave, which define the agricultural development of the region. A primary point of community and commercial activity is the Sunset Farmers Co-op Colony, situated in the eastern portion of the survey area near 417th Ave. This layout illustrates a common pattern of Great Plains land use, where centralized cooperative colonies manage wide expanses of territory. The numerous small, scattered wetlands and basins across the quadrangle highlight the glaciated nature of the terrain, influencing the placement of local thoroughfares like 105th St and 109th St.
