2017 Map of Ravinia

About this map

Lake Andes dominates this 2017 study of the South Dakota prairie, its complex shoreline defining the local geography with Johnson Bay reaching to the east and Owens Bay to the south. The small settlement of Ravinia is situated at the southern edge of the lake, organized around Elm Ave and Co Rd 21. Further west, the map identifies the locality of Dezera along the northern banks of the water. The landscape is marked by a precise section-line road grid, including Lakeshore Dr and numerous numbered avenues such as 388th Ave, which service the agricultural tracts surrounding the lake's marshy fringes. This survey provides a clear view of how the modern road network and rural settlements interface with the fluctuating hydrologic boundaries of the region.
