2015 Map of Alpena

About this map

Alpena serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the mid-2010s, situated near the intersection of several county lines. The town's grid is clearly defined by thoroughfares like Main St and 3rd St N, while Cemetery Rd leads south toward Rest Haven Cem. This survey illustrates the characteristic section-line road system of the Great Plains, where gravel and paved routes like Willow Ave and 392nd Ave divide the land into neat square miles. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of Sand Cr and Cain Cr, which carve subtle drainage patterns across the prairie. The map captures the precise jurisdictional boundaries where Beadle, Jerauld, and Sanborn counties meet, showing the localized geography of this rural South Dakota community.
