2012 Map of Westport

About this map

Westport and its immediate surroundings are defined by the grid of the northern plains and the meandering path of the Elm River. This South Dakota survey documents the community at its traditional crossing, where Main St and 4th St form the core of the local street plan. Further north, the settlement of Barnard is situated along Barnard Rd, where a Po serves as a vital point of local infrastructure. The landscape is largely an agricultural expanse, organized by a rigid system of section-line roads like 387th Ave and 120th St. The Elm River provides the only major break in this geometry, winding its way southeast through the township and influencing the early placement of these rural centers.
