2017 Map of Tulare SE

About this map

Bonilla occupies the northeastern corner of this Beadle County landscape, situated along the north-south corridor of the highway and marking the primary point of settlement. The surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and seasonal basins characteristic of the James River Valley, notably Fox Lake and the meandering path of Cain Cr. This 2017 survey reveals a highly organized township-and-range grid, where section lines are traced by local thoroughfares like Co Rd 8 and an array of numbered avenues. The geography here is a classic example of the prairie pothole region, where small depressions create a complex drainage pattern that has dictated road placement and land use for generations. While the town of Bonilla remains the focal point, the map's fine contour lines show a subtle, undulating topography that continues to shape the agricultural and hydrological character of the county.
