About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie wetlands define the landscape of this portion of Edmunds County in the mid-2010s. The area is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the map centered on the junction of four townships: T122n R71w, t122n r72w, t121n r71w, and T121n R72w. This rural South Dakota expanse is characterized by a sparse, geometric grid of gravel roads, such as 140th St and 147th St, which serve as the primary conduits for the agricultural activities of the region. The numerous small, unnamed water bodies scattered throughout the sections illustrate the poorly drained nature of this upland terrain, typical of the Missouri Coteau. Significant north-south corridors like 337th Ave and 340th Ave delineate the section lines, providing a clear view of the rural homestead and field patterns that have persisted in this part of the state for decades.
