About this map

Lake Andes dominates this 2015 landscape in Charles Mix County, carving a significant basin into the prairie terrain. The settlement of Ravinia is situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary local node alongside the smaller communities of Dezera and the Lake View Colony. This era of the landscape is defined by a rigid section-line road grid, featuring thoroughfares such as 286th St and 387th Ave that facilitate agricultural access across the undulating plains.

Conservation and recreation are evident through the Owens Bay Wildlife Trail, which offers a structured path through the lake's ecological margins. The mapping of Lake Shore Dr and Old Grass Rd indicates the local balance between residential development near the water and traditional rural routes. This detailed survey provides a clear look at the intersection of South Dakota's water-focused recreation and established communal agricultural settlements like the colony.
