About this map

The South Dakota Minnesota state line serves as a central axis for this quadrangle, dividing the landscape between Minnehaha and Rock counties. Valley Springs is the primary settlement, situated along the path of Beaver Cr and organized around a grid including Broadway Ave and Sunnyside Ave. The terrain transitions into the distinct upland of the Coteau des Prairies, an elevated plateau that influences the local drainage patterns of Springwater Cr and Fourmile Cr.

Rural infrastructure is defined by a systematic grid of section roads like 486th Ave and 260th St. For genealogical interest, the map identifies Pleasant View Cem near the heart of Valley Springs and Nerison Cem further south. Smaller named locales such as Manley and Benclare mark the agricultural crossroads and former rail-influenced points of the region, while Blood Run drains the southeastern portion of the sheet near Bruce.
