About this map

The city of Aberdeen serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, revealing the eastward expansion of South Dakota's third-largest city into the surrounding plains. Educational institutions such as Presentation College and Northern State College anchor the residential core, while newer developments like Melrose Addition and Jobee Acres illustrate the modern suburban footprint. The landscape is marked by the winding courses of Foot Creek and Moccasin Creek, which snake through the grid-iron township sections.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is concentrated along the east-west axis, dominated by the Aberdeen Regional Airport. Further south, the rural character remains intact near the small settlement of Nahon and Thorson Airfield. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for several local burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cemetery, Sacred Heart Cemetery, and the expansive Sunset Memorial Gardens.
