About this map

The Big Sioux River meanders across this prairie landscape in Codington County, anchoring a rural township defined by its section-line roads and family-named landmarks. The settlement of Easterly serves as a central point in this agricultural region, while numerous burial sites provide significant data for genealogists and local historians. Notably, the map documents the Saint Maurice Esterly Blessed Sacrament Catholic Cem, alongside Esterly Cem and Berger Cem, which are tucked among the fields north of the river.

Glacial hydrology is evident throughout the survey, with Cottonwood Lake dominating the northern portion of the quadrangle and the namesake Still Lake situated to the southwest. Smaller waterways like Soo Cr and Mahoney Cr drain into the primary river valley. The landscape is interconnected by an extensive grid of local routes, including Still Lake Rd and Sioux Conifer Rd, illustrating the persistence of the late-twentieth-century rural South Dakota road network into the modern era.
