2017 Map of South Prairie

About this map

Saron Cem sits at the intersection of 16th St SW and 135th Ave SW, serving as a quiet focal point in this portion of Ward County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Kemp Coulee in the north and Blackwater Coulee further south, which leads toward the waters of Nelson Lake. A strictly rectangular grid of section lines and county roads, such as Co Hwy 20, organizes the open terrain, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System. The small settlement of South Prairie acts as a central node for the local road network, where 2nd St SW and 177th Ave SE meet. This 2017 survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure and natural hydrology that characterizes this prairie environment.
