2012 Map of Waubay SW

About this map

Glacial lakes and marshy sloughs define the landscape of Day County in this 2012 survey. The region is dominated by significant water bodies, including the southern reaches of South Waubay Lake at the northern border and the expansive Rush Lake to the east. The terrain is structured by a rigid grid of section-line roads such as 437th Ave and 143rd St, which intersect the path of US Route 12 as it crosses through the center of the sheet. Genealogical and local history points of interest are preserved at Salem Cem and Old Saint Otto's Cem. Between these landmarks, Antelope Lake and Solomon Slough illustrate the characteristic prairie pothole topography that shapes the agricultural and drainage patterns of the area.
