2017 Map of Roswell

About this map

Roswell sits at the southern edge of this Miner County landscape, a community defined by its proximity to the rural road grid and the nearby Saint Nicholas Cem. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that shapes the local hydrology. Watercourses such as Pooley Cr and Rock Cr meander through the prairie, reflecting the natural drainage patterns of this agricultural region. To the northeast, the small settlement of Argonne appears as a quiet waypoint along the section lines. The map captures a moment in the late 2010s where the enduring layout of township and range lines, marked by routes like 233rd St and 427th Ave, continues to dictate the spatial organization of the South Dakota plains.
