2010 Map of Valley Springs

About this map

Valley Springs sits near the border of South Dakota and Minnesota, serving as a primary hub in this agricultural region. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Beaver Creek and Springwater Creek to the north, while Fourmile Creek and Blood Run carve through the southern sections. This 2010 survey illustrates the organized grid of county roads and avenues that connect small settlements like Manley, Bruce, and Benclare. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of vital community landmarks, including Pleasant View Cemetery just south of Valley Springs and the Nerison Cemetery near the southern edge. The distribution of these sites across the township reflects the long-standing rural settlement patterns and the importance of the stream valleys in shaping the local geography.
