2021 Map of White NE

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the high upland character of this Brookings County landscape, where the glacial plateau shapes the drainage patterns of the region. The intermittent flow of Sixmile Cr and Deer Cr cuts through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic network of eastern South Dakota. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a strictly gridded agricultural township system, punctuated by local aviation history at Lutgen Airport near the eastern boundary. The map provides a precise record of the modern road network, including arterial routes like Co Rd 44 and Co Rd 27, which follow section lines established during the original land surveys of the late 19th century.
