About this map

Wallace serves as the primary settlement in this portion of the Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau rising above the surrounding plains. The town is structured around a central grid including Main St, Shannon St, and Center St. The landscape is dominated by glacial depressions and wetlands characteristic of this geologically distinct region, with significant water bodies such as Kings Lake, Grass Lake, and Lake Nicholson defining the terrain east of the town site.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds preserved on the landscape, including Telemarken Lutheran Cem situated near the Clark Co and Codington Co line. Farther south, Phipps Cem sits near the shores of Warner Lake, while Lake Nicholson Cem overlooks its namesake water body. The township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System divide the area into a regular grid of sections, interconnected by a network of rural routes like Co Rd 4 1/10 and 158th St.
