About this map

Rutland stands as the central hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, situated along N Main St amidst the glacial geography of the Coteau des Prairies. The terrain is defined by a complex network of depressions and elevations, including Macey Hill and the seasonal waters of Zimmerman Slough. These natural features reveal the post-glacial hydrology of the region, where drainage is managed through waterways like Battle Cr and Bachelor Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find the exact location of Lake Park Cem in the southwestern quadrant, providing a critical reference point for family research in the area. The map also detail the significant water bodies that dot the township, from the larger Milwaukee Lake and Pelican Lake to the smaller Green Lake in the north. The gridded section lines and named rural roads, such as 462nd Ave and 230th St, offer a precise look at the modern agricultural parceling that characterizes Lake County.
