About this map

Snake Creek meanders through the heart of this North Central South Dakota landscape, defining a terrain shaped by glacial depressions and agricultural township boundaries. The northern edge of the map features the small settlement of Wetonka, accompanied by the nearby Wetonka Cem. To the south, the Pembrook Cem sits within the township of Pembrook, indicating the long-standing rural community centers of Edmunds County.

Evidence of historical infrastructure is prominent in the northeast, where an Old Railroad Grade suggests the path of former rail commerce that once supported the local grain economy. Private aviation and communal living are represented by the Krueger Landing Strip and the Long Lake Colony. The map also details numerous Gravel Pits and various natural water features like Crompton Lake, reflecting a landscape defined by its natural resources and systematic land division into townships such as Belle and Fountain.
