About this map

Watertown serves as the focal point of this 2015 survey, situated on the distinctive geological upland of the Coteau des Prairies. The city's residential and educational infrastructure is well-defined, including the campus of the Lake Area Technical Institute and the sprawling grid of streets such as 3rd St NW and 4th St NW. To the north, the small settlement of Rauville and the agricultural sections of t118n r52w illustrate the transition from urban center to the productive farmlands of Codington County.

Water features like Willow Cr and Mud Cr meander through the landscape, dictated by the glacial topography of the region. Local history is anchored by the presence of Mount Hope Cem and Saint Marys Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists. The map also traces the extensive rural road network, from 454th Ave to 460th Ave, connecting the outlying sections to the regional hub.
