About this map

Winfred sits at the southern edge of this prairie landscape, where the local road network of Main St and NW 2nd Ave meets S Dakota Highway 34. The topography is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that creates a complex system of internal drainage. This is evident in the numerous water bodies dotting the township, including Gilman Lake, Lake Winfred, and marshy depressions like Crane Slough and Davis Slough. The E Fork Vermillion River provides a primary drainage corridor through the central and southern sections. For genealogists and local historians, the Saint John's Lutheran Cem stands as a significant landmark in the northern portion of the map, while Calico Field represents a named local clearing or landmark within this agricultural region of Lake County.
