2012 Map of Beardsley

About this map

The settlement of Beardsley and a dense network of rural family and community burial grounds define this portion of Hutchinson County. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific locations including Dakota City Cem, Zion Cem, and Rosenfeld Cem scattered across the agricultural landscape. The terrain is structured by a precise section-line road grid, including 411th Ave and 282nd St, which navigate the various drainage branches of the plains. Waterways such as N Br Dry Cr and Dawson Cr meander through the fields, while the Parkston Municipal Airport occupies the northwest corner of the survey. This map effectively documents the transition of the South Dakota prairie into a structured pastoral region marked by its legacy cemeteries like Bethel Cem and Pietz Cem.
