About this map

The Big Sioux River meanders through this portion of Moody County, defining a landscape shaped by the Coteau des Prairies upland plateau. The settlement of Trent serves as a local hub, situated near several significant landmarks including the Trent Mounds, which indicate a long history of human presence in the river valley. The grid of section lines and township boundaries, such as t106n r49w and t105n r48w, organizes the rural territory into a patchwork of agricultural plots and drainage ways.

Water management is central to the area, with Squaw Cr, Bachelor Cr, and Brookfield Cr feeding into the main river channel. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Hillside Cem, Trent Sunnyside Cem, and Riverview Cem, while the location of Sioux Falls Junction and Lone Tree mark specific points of interest in the section-line road network. This survey reflects the enduring intersection of indigenous history, early prairie settlement, and modern land use.
