2017 Map of Alexandria

About this map

Alexandria and Fulton anchor this high-plains landscape in Hanson County, where the transition between cultivated section lines and the natural courses of Johnson Cr and Pierre Cr is clearly defined. The area is characterized by its organized grid of rural roads, including 417th Ave and 252nd St, which connect small-town life with the surrounding agricultural land. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed locations of local burial grounds such as Graceland Cem north of Fulton and the Green Hill Cem and Saint Marys Cem situated on the outskirts of Alexandria. In the southwest corner, the James River snakes through the terrain, while Fulton Lake provides a distinct water feature amidst the rolling prairie. This study of the township captures the enduring layout of these South Dakota communities and the infrastructure that supports them.
