2017 Map of Redfield SW

About this map

Cottonwood Lake dominates the central landscape of this South Dakota prairie, serving as a primary hydrologic landmark at the boundary of Hand and Spink counties. The terrain is defined by glacial depressions and subtle rises, most notably Bald Mtn to the northeast. Water management and drainage are central to the area's layout, with Medicine Creek (also labeled as Medicine Cr) winding through the southwestern sections. The map reveals a strict section-line grid of rural roads, including 178th St and 374th Ave, which facilitate movement between the dispersed farmsteads of Exline Township. Local access points like Lake Dr and Cottonwood Ln indicate the significance of the lake for residents in this agricultural corridor during the late 2010s.
