About this map

Wallace stands at the heart of this landscape on the eastern edge of the Coteau des Prairies, an elevated plateau region defined by its distinct glacial topography. The settlement is laid out along a traditional grid with streets such as Main St, Shannon St, and Wallace Ave, serving the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is densely pocketed with small lakes and wetlands, including Kings Lake, Grass Lake, Lake Nicholson, and Warner Lake, which dominate the hydrology of Eden Township.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-defined burial sites across the township, including the Telemarken Lutheran Cem west of town and the isolated Soren Hjermstad Family Cem to the northeast. Along the shoreline of the larger water bodies, features like the Lake Nicholson Cem and Phipps Cem provide specific points of interest for family research. The map reflects a rural environment where section-line roads like Co Rd 4 1/10 connect dispersed farmsteads across the South Dakota prairie.
