About this map

Peace Lutheran Cemetery stands as a central landmark in this rural landscape of Brown County, South Dakota, situated among the section lines of the Northern Plains. The map details a predominantly agricultural area defined by a strict grid of section-line roads, including 100th St SE and 397th Ave, which partition the prairie into a network of farms and fields. The hydrological character of the region is shaped by Dry Run, a seasonal drainage course that winds through the eastern portion of the township, south toward Engle Dam. Numerous small prairie potholes and ephemeral wetlands dot the terrain, reflecting the glaciated topography of the James River Valley. This survey documents the persistent rural infrastructure of the region, where the placement of small dams and localized water management features like those near 102nd St support the area's agricultural life.
