About this map

The town of Toronto serves as the primary hub in this corner of the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau characterized by its undulating terrain and numerous drainage systems. To the southwest, the Red Willow Colony establishes a distinct communal settlement pattern amid the grid of section lines and gravel roads. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, including Bullhead Run, Peg Munky Run, and N Deer Cr, which carve through the glacial till of the region.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this 2015 survey, including Toronto Cem, Blom Prairie Cem, Mikkelson Cem, and Leganger Cem. These sites, often situated near township boundaries like the line between Deuel Co and Brookings Co, provide critical touchstones for family history in a predominantly agricultural landscape. The township and range markers, such as t113n r49w and t113n r48w, show the persistent influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern South Dakota land use.
