About this map

Coteau des Prairies, the distinctive upland plateau of eastern South Dakota, dominates this landscape in southeastern Moody County. This section of the drift prairie is characterized by a high density of small wetlands and depressions, with Mud Lake serving as a prominent water feature in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The agricultural grid is well-established, defined by a network of rural routes including Co Hwy 77 and Co Hwy C. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Mount Auburn Cem and Martinson Cem provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots in this rural community. The map illustrates the persistent 19th-century township-and-range organization, clearly marking boundaries like t107n r50w across the prairie terrain.
