2021 Map of Bristol East

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines the landscape of this Day County survey, characterized by the dense collection of glacial wetlands and depressions typical of eastern South Dakota. Small agricultural settlements are situated along the regional transportation corridors, with Bristol and Holmquist positioned in the north while Butler sits further south. The map provides significant detail for family historians, marking several burial grounds including Saint Anthony's Catholic Cem, Prairie Mound Cem, and Ebenezer Cem. Significant water bodies like Bitter Lake and Holmquist Slough dominate the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrography of the prairie pothole region. This 2021 edition records the established grid of county roads, such as Co RD 31 and Co RD 25, which organize the rural landscape around these small prairie towns.
