2021 Map of Bridgewater West

About this map

Emery and the western outskirts of its neighbor occupy the agricultural plains of southeastern South Dakota, straddling the county line between Hanson and McCook Counties. The landscape is defined by the meandering course of Wolf Creek and its smaller tributary Elm Creek, which carve gentle drainages across the grid of section lines. Rural life is anchored by family-named sites like Tschetter Slough and the small Rasmussen Cemetery tucked away in the sectioned fields. The town of Emery shows its established street grid, including Hanson Street and 1st Avenue, while the Post Office remains a central landmark for the surrounding farming community. This survey provides a precise view of the region's hydrography and the intersection of local infrastructure and historical land divisions.
