About this map

South Shore serves as the primary hub of this 2015 survey, situated just south of the distinctive twin waters of Punished Womans Lake and Round Lake. The village is laid out on a grid including Grandview St, School St, and Main St, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the massive glacial upland of the Coteau des Prairies. This geographic formation creates a complex terrain of potholes and rises, including the prominent Punished Womans Mound to the south of the lakes.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks such as Lake View Cem, located on a rise overlooking the water, and the isolated Jellis Grave found in the southwestern portion of the township. The drainage of the area is marked by the headwaters of the Yellow Bank River flowing northeast and the meandering Mud Cr in the west, reflecting the delicate water table of the South Dakota prairie.
