2012 Map of Alcester

About this map

W Brule Creek and E Brule Creek define the agricultural grid of Union County in the early 2010s. This survey centers on the quiet rural landscape between the forks of the Brule, where section lines are strictly maintained by a network of gravel and paved roads like 475th Ave and 300th St. The small settlement of Alcester appears in the southeastern corner, showing a concentrated street plan including Dakota St and Iowa St near the local Post Office. Away from the town center, Gothland Cemetery sits as a solitary landmark in the open countryside, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of South Dakota.
