2015 Map of Roswell

About this map

Town of Roswell serves as the focal point of this Miner County landscape, situated along the southern edge of the survey area. The terrain transitions toward the northeast into the higher elevations of the Coteau des Prairies, a prominent glacial plateau that defines the regional geography. This section of South Dakota is marked by a precise grid of rural roads, including 225th St and 429th Ave, which facilitate movement between the small settlements of Roswell and Argonne. The local hydrography is dominated by the meandering paths of Pooley Cr and Rock Cr, which drain the prairie landscape. Additionally, the presence of the Miner County WPA indicates managed waterfowl production areas, a characteristic feature of this prairie pothole region that reflects long-term conservation and land-use patterns in the early 21st century.
