2017 Map of Vienna East

About this map

The town of Vienna sits at the edge of this survey, marking a pocket of settlement atop the prominent Coteau des Prairies plateau. This glacial upland is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and small lakes that dot the landscape between the section-line roads. The rural character of the region is anchored by the Dixon Cem in the northern portion of the quadrangle, a significant point of interest for those researching local family histories in the area. Transportation in this part of South Dakota is defined by a rigid grid of gravel roads, including Co Rd R and Co Rd L, which navigate the subtle rises and depressions of the prairie. The map captures the boundary between Clark Co and Hamlin Co, illustrating how political lines were drawn across the high plains landscape.
