2021 Map of Bijou Hills
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The Bijou Hills landform rises above the surrounding Brule County plains, serving as the central topographical anchor for this South Dakota landscape. The map reveals a deeply rooted immigrant history reflected in its cemeteries, including the Saint Venceslaus Bohemian National Cem and the Swedish Lutheran Cem. Small agricultural communities like Ola and the namesake Bijou Hills settlement are connected by a rigid grid of rural section roads, such as 260th St and 350th Ave. Water features are scarce but vital, with drainage provided by Elm Cr and Nelson Cr, while America Lake and the Panzour Dam represent important local water management. This 2021 survey illustrates how the township and range system has organized the prairie, with family and denominational ties still etched into the land via sites like Amunid Emmanual Lutheran Cem and German Lutheran Cem.
