2017 Map of Armour SW

About this map

German Reform Cem stands as a primary cultural landmark in this agricultural landscape of southern South Dakota. The terrain is defined by the wandering path of Andes Cr, which flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle amidst a dense network of sectional roads and township lines. This area represents the rural borderlands between Douglas Co and Charles Mix Co, where the rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System is meticulously preserved. The placement of small wetlands and the course of the creek indicate the natural drainage patterns of the prairie before they meet the more developed corridors of Co Hwy 13 and various county routes like Co Rd 17 and Co Rd 34. For those studying local genealogy or the history of settlement in the region, the map provides precise locations for family-named rural roads and the namesake cemetery that served the early immigrant community.
