About this map

Little Minnesota River and its meandering tributaries define this portion of Marshall County, South Dakota, where the prairie landscape is punctuated by numerous glacial depressions. The town center of Veblen is situated in the northeast, organized along a grid that includes S Laframbois St, Prairie Ave, and Wold Ave. Outside the town's core, the landscape transitions into a vast network of section roads and drainage features, including Shortfoot Cr and the multi-branched Laframbois Cr.

Family and community history are anchored at the Saint Matthew Cem, located centrally between the town and the water-heavy southern reaches. The map reveals a high density of named basins in the lower half, such as Hill Lake, Summit Lake, Dumarce Lake, and Turtlefoot Lake. This topography suggests a land defined by its hydrology and agriculture, further marked by the presence of BIA Road 15 serving the regional transportation needs.
