About this map

Peever sits at the heart of this prairie landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections in Roberts County. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages, including the prominent Peever Slough and Eastman Slough, which characterize the eastern South Dakota glacial till plains. These water bodies, along with the meandering Jorgenson River and smaller tributaries like Agency Cr and Goodwill Cr, illustrate the hydrologic patterns that have influenced land use and settlement since the area was first surveyed.

Local history is anchored by the presence of Saint John's Episcopal Cem in the north and the Peever Cem just south of the town site. The map reflects a structured grid of county roads, such as Co RD 33 and Co RD 26, which connect the scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots. The inclusion of Big Spring Cr and Big Coulee Cr highlights the subtle yet vital topographic variations that dictate the flow of water through this open country.
