2015 Map of Waubay SW

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the rolling topography of this Day County landscape, where the high prairie is pockmarked with glacial basins and wetlands. Significant water bodies dominate the terrain, including Antelope Lake in the southwest and the southern reaches of S Waubay Lake at the northern edge. The area is largely defined by its rural section lines, with a grid of local roads like 436th Ave and 143rd St providing access to the interior. Genealogical points of interest are preserved through small burial sites, specifically Salem Cem and Old Saint Otto's Cem, which anchor the local history of the surrounding farmsteads. The southern portion of the map transitions into the marshy expanse of Solomon Slough, illustrating the diverse hydrography of the South Dakota glacial till plains.
