Wallace serves as the primary settlement in this portion of Codington County, situated upon the glacial highlands of the Coteau des Prairies. The landscape is defined by its numerous prairie potholes and larger water bodies, including Kings Lake, Grass Lake, and Lake Nicholson. This 2015 survey reveals a traditional township-and-range grid system with roads like 158th St and 440th Ave facilitating travel between small family burial grounds and farms. Local history is anchored by several distinct cemeteries, such as the Soren Hjermstad Family Cem in the north and the Phipps Cem near Warner Lake to the south. These markers provide critical clues for genealogists tracking family lineages within the prairie landscape of eastern South Dakota.
