2015 Map of Alsen

About this map

The border of Clay and Union Counties bisects this agricultural landscape in southeastern South Dakota. The tiny settlement of Alsen sits at a central crossroads, while other named locations like Hill-Side and Greenfield mark the rural township's historical hubs. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Brule Cr and Baptist Cr, which carve through the grid-patterned section lines and gravel roads. Researchers and genealogists will find the Rockfield Cem located on Rockfield Rd, north of Howard Field. The map illustrates a high degree of land partitioning, characteristic of the region's farming heritage, with established routes such as 307th St and 470th Ave connecting isolated farmsteads and rural properties.
