About this map

Small rural congregations and their adjoining burial grounds anchor this agricultural landscape in Lincoln County. The drainage patterns of Snake Cr and Saddle Cr dictate the layout of the local road network, which primarily follows a rigid section-line grid. Significant landmarks for genealogists include the Skrefsrud Lutheran Church and its associated Skrefsrud Lutheran Cem near the center of the survey. To the east, the Pioneer Church and Pioneer Cem serve as historical focal points for the farming community near the upper reaches of Haram Cr. The map captures a quiet, high-plains landscape where traditional land divisions remain largely unchanged, preserving the sites of early Scandinavian and pioneer settlement. Further south, the Nazareth Cem provides another point of interest for those tracing family roots in this corner of South Dakota.
