2021 Map of Parker NE

About this map

Parker serves as the primary municipal center in this section of Turner County, situated amidst the well-defined agricultural grid of southeastern South Dakota. The landscape is characterized by the meandering path of the West Fork Vermillion River and its various tributaries, which introduce natural contours into the otherwise geometric section lines. The eastern portion of the terrain is drained by Beaver Cr, flowing through the region as it descends from the surrounding Coteau des Prairies. This survey captures a moment in the modern era of the Great Plains, where the established township and range system dictates the placement of rural roads and property boundaries, contrasting with the fluid drainage patterns of the local creek systems.
