About this map

Alpena sits on the eastern edge of this prairie landscape, serving as a primary point of reference in a region defined by agricultural sections and intermittent drainage. The boundary between Beadle Co and Jerauld Co runs horizontally through the center of the sheet, marked by 220th St. This survey captures a rural environment where land use is dictated by the subtle depressions of the terrain, including the meandering paths of Sand Cr and Firesteel Cr. The presence of Zion Cem near the county line provides a localized historical anchor for researchers tracing family ties to the small farms that populate this township system. A grid of section roads, such as 388th Ave and Country Ln, connects these scattered homesteads, reflecting the enduring 1:24,000 scale spatial organization of South Dakota's heartland.
