2021 Map of Spain

About this map

The settlement of Spain sits along the southern edge of Marshall County, marking a quiet point of human presence in the northeastern South Dakota landscape. This 2021 survey reveals a vast agricultural grid defined by long stretches of section roads like 118th St and 420th Ave. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that rises above the surrounding plains. The drainage of Crow Cr meanders across the northern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural water patterns that persist alongside the geometric precision of county highways. This map is particularly useful for understanding modern land management and the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the boundary markers for t126n r58w and surrounding townships.
