2012 Map of Akaska SW

About this map

Old Zion Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this 2012 survey of the rural landscape south of Akaska. The map documents a sparsely populated region of Walworth County defined by the sprawling waters of Lake Oahe along its western edge. The drainage patterns of the Missouri River plateau are clearly marked by the winding paths of Swan Cr, Pero Cr, and Rieger Cr, which carve through the sectional grid of the Missouri River Breaks. A network of township roads, such as Sloan Creek Rd and 300th Ave, provides structure to this agricultural area, illustrating the enduring survey lines that govern the plains. This topographic study captures the intersection of natural riparian systems and the long-established cemetery that serves as a vital genealogical marker for local families.
