2012 Map of Storla

About this map

Storla anchors the northern portion of this South Dakota landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural roads and agricultural grid. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Firesteel Cr and its tributary, the W Br Firesteel Cr, which cut through the township in a series of serpentine bends. These waterways provided essential drainage and a natural break in the otherwise orderly section lines of the Aurora County plains. Genealogy and local history are preserved in the locations of several community landmarks, including Victor Lutheran Cem, Emmanuel Lutheran Cem, and the southern Knutson Cem. The map reveals a highly structured transportation network where avenues like 392nd Ave and streets such as 250th St maintain the precise geometry typical of the American Midwest's township and range system.
