About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines the undulating landscape of this eastern South Dakota quadrangle, where the headwaters of the Little Vermillion River and the E Fork Vermillion River drain the glacial terrain. In this corner of Richland Township, the map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 442nd Ave and 244th St, which serve a distributed agricultural community. A key landmark for local history and genealogy is the Salem Lutheran Cem, situated near the intersection of 443rd Ave and 245th St. This survey documents the intersection of three counties—Miner, Lake, and McCook—capturing the rural character of the region as it appeared in the mid-2010s, defined by its small-scale watercourses and persistent land-use patterns established over a century prior.
