2021 Map of Snow Lake

About this map

The prairie landscape of Brule County is defined by a series of shallow basins and section-line roads that organize the rural township. Snow Lake sits centrally as a significant water body in a region marked by ephemeral wetlands and glacial depressions. The map reveals the quiet placement of local history through sites like the Pleasant Grove Cem and Gabrielson Cem, which serve as physical markers of early settlers in Township 101 and 102 North. These small cemeteries, along with water bodies like Torrey Lake and Freeland Lake, are the primary landmarks in an area dominated by agricultural land divisions. The grid of roads, including 360th Ave and 260th St, illustrates the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System in South Dakota.
