2015 Map of Artesian NW

About this map

Saint Anthonys Cem serves as a central landmark in this portion of Sanborn County, reflecting the deep-rooted community ties in South Dakota's rural heartland. The landscape is defined by the gentle drainage patterns of the S Fork Pearl Cr and Stony Run, which meander through a grid-iron network of section roads. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain shaped by the Public Land Survey System, where townships like t109n r59w and t108n r60w meet at the border of Beadle Co and Sanborn Co. The spatial organization of the land into precise mile-square sections, accessed by numbered thoroughfares such as 413th Ave and 220th St, highlights the enduring agricultural framework of the Great Plains. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of land divisions and the specific location of the cemetery as it appeared in the mid-2010s.
