About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau extending across the eastern Dakotas, defines the rolling topography of this Codington County landscape. The area is characterized by its glacial hydrology, featuring terminal moraine lakes like Cottonwood Lake and the smaller Still Lake to the south. These water bodies are connected to a drainage network that includes the Big Sioux River, Soo Cr, and Mahoney Cr, illustrating the complex prairie pothole region of the Upper Midwest.

Local history is preserved through scattered burial grounds that speak to the early Catholic and family-led settlement of Germantown Township. Significant sites include the Saint Maurice Esterly Blessed Sacrament Catholic Cem, alongside the Esterly Cem and the Berger Cem. The township's section-line road system, including routes like Co Rd 4 3/10 and Codington Co 43, provides a clear view of the rural agricultural structure maintained into the early twenty-first century.
