2015 Map of Bonesteel

About this map

Bonesteel and Fairfax anchor this section of Gregory County, situated along a network of section-line roads and local thoroughfares like SD-1806 and SD-50. The landscape is defined by the drainage of N Scalp Cr and S Scalp Cr, which cut through the agricultural plateaus typical of this region. A notable concentration of community landmarks appears throughout the townships, including several rural burial grounds such as Rosebud Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Highland Cem, which reflect the area's genealogical history. Distinctive geographical markers like Devils Grave Hill in the northwest and Houston Springs offer a glimpse into the local topography that shaped early settlement patterns. Near the town of Fairfax, the presence of Fairfax Lake and the Trinity Lutheran Cem further illustrate the intersection of community life and the natural prairie environment.
