Coteau des Prairies, a vast glacial upland, dominates this landscape in eastern South Dakota at the junction of the Clark Co and Kingsbury Co line. The map highlights the rural township structure of the early 21st century, punctuated by a series of small water bodies and seasonal wetlands characteristic of the prairie pothole region. In the northeast corner, the settlement of Willow Lake serves as the local hub, while the surrounding sections preserve early community sites like the German Presbyterian Cem and Saint James Catholic Cem. Redstone Cr meanders through the southwestern corner, reflecting the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped agriculture in these townships. The intricate grid of section roads, including Co Rd 38 and 429th Ave, reveals the persistent late-19th-century land division system still in active use.
