About this map

The border between Aurora Co and Brule Co runs north-to-south through this section of the Great Plains, defining a landscape of agriculture and sparse infrastructure. The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and ephemeral wetlands typical of the region's prairie pothole topography. Transport is centered on a precise grid of rural routes, including 244th St and 367th Ave, which service isolated homesteads and farmland.

A few specific landmarks stand out against the agricultural backdrop, notably Drake Farm Airport situated near the county line and the eponymous Wilson Dam located on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. These features, along with the section lines of t104n r67w and neighboring townships, illustrate the systematic land division that has shaped South Dakota's rural development into the twenty-first century.
