About this map

Cain Creek and its tributary Cain Cr wind through this Beadle County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region characterized by significant prairie wetlands. The presence of Bracken Slough in the central portion and Norwegian Slough in the southeast corner indicates the glaciated terrain's natural drainage patterns. This section of South Dakota is partitioned by a strict section-line road grid, including Co Rd 14 and Co Rd 18, which facilitate movement across the agricultural townships of T112N R65W and T111N R64W. The survey highlights the intersection of natural water systems and human-imposed boundaries, where seasonal sloughs and creek beds often dictate the placement of farm infrastructure and local thoroughfares such as 382nd Ave and 207th St.
