About this map

The eastern edge of the Coteau des Prairies plateau dominates this section of the South Dakota landscape, where the headwaters and tributaries of Wolf Creek wind through a grid of rural section roads. The map captures a transition point where Miner, Hanson, and McCook counties meet, illustrating the late 20th-century agricultural layout of the region. Local heritage is centered around scattered spiritual and commemorative sites, including the Immanuel Lutheran Church and its accompanying Immanuel Lutheran Church Cem. Further west, the Pleasant Hill Cem and Hillside Cem serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive fields, marking the enduring presence of early prairie settlements and family lineages in this corner of the state.
