2017 Map of Bovee

About this map

The small settlement of Bovee serves as the focal point for this agrarian landscape in South Dakota. Defined by a strictly organized grid of sectional roads like Bovee Rd and 280th St, the area is punctuated by the remnants of earlier pioneer communities. Family history is well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including Edgerton Cem, Bloomington Cem, Platte Valley Cem, and Jasper Cem, which are scattered throughout the townships. The drainage of the land is defined by several seasonal watercourses such as Edgerton Cr and Campbell Cr, which cut through the plains. A notable local landmark, Took Tay Hill, rises above the surrounding fields, providing a rare point of elevation in a region primarily dedicated to large-scale agriculture and rural homesteads.
