About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau rising above the plains, shapes the landscape of this northeastern South Dakota region. The settlement of Summit sits at a critical junction of local transportation, with streets like Jackson Ave and Sheridan Ave forming its core. This area marks a significant drainage divide, where the headwaters of the Big Sioux River and the Indian River begin their respective journeys south across the prairie.

Genealogists can find important local records at Hope Lutheran Cem and Summit Cem, located just outside the village. The eastern portion of the survey is defined by the wetlands of Summit Lake and the Grant County Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the transition between Roberts and Grant counties. The grid of section roads, such as Co Hwy 24 and 457th Ave, illustrates the enduring structure of the public land survey system in this agricultural heartland.
