2012 Map of Vayland SW

About this map

Danforth sits at the southern edge of this Hand County landscape, marking a quiet junction in the expansive prairie terrain of central South Dakota. The topography is defined by the subtle drainage of Turtle Cr in the northwest and the prominent curve of Spring Lake in the southeast. This 2012 survey illustrates a highly structured rural grid, where numbered routes like 216th St and 364th Ave intersect with Co Hwy 23 to facilitate movement across the agricultural heartland. The map provides a clear record of land use and water management in a region where seasonal wetlands and small basins dot the section lines between established homesteads.
