2021 Map of Vienna West

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the rolling, pothole-dotted landscape of this South Dakota quadrangle, where glacial topography has created a complex network of wetlands and seasonal basins. The most prominent water feature is Dry Lake Number Two, a large, shallow depression in the northwestern corner that typifies the region's interior drainage. The town of Vienna sits at the eastern edge of the sheet, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding agricultural community. For family historians, the map identifies local burial grounds including Vienna Cem and Pleasant Cem, while a systematic grid of county roads like Co RD 12 and 185th ST provides access across the townships. This layout illustrates a persistent pattern of land use where section lines dictate the movement of people and commerce through the prairie.
