2017 Map of Snow Lake

About this map

Snow Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this Brule County landscape, reflecting the prairie pothole geography typical of the South Dakota plains. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road network, where routes like 264th St and 365th Ave create a geometric grid across the terrain. This rural area is anchored by local landmarks that serve as vital records for genealogists and local historians, specifically the Gabrielson Cem located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle and the Pleasant Grove Cem positioned further south. The hydrography of the region is defined by scattered water bodies including Freeland Lake and Torrey Lake, which dot the landscape alongside numerous unnamed seasonal basins. The lack of concentrated town centers emphasizes the agricultural and open-country character of this part of Torrey Lake Township in the early 21st century.
