2012 Map of Red Lake East

About this map

Red Lake and the meandering course of Nelson Cr define this rural South Dakota landscape in Brule County. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic Midwestern township grid, where numbered avenues and streets segment the agricultural terrain into precise squares. Near the center of this grid sits the Lutheran Cem, a small but significant site for family historians and genealogists researching the local area. The water management of the region is evident in the presence of Ranzour Dam to the south, while Reimer Cr flows along the western edge. This map documents a period of stable land use, highlighting the persistence of small-scale water features and local landmarks within the expansive prairie environment of Smith Township.
