2021 Map of Canova SE

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape in McCook County, where the high prairie begins to slope away. This 2021 survey shows a geometric grid of rural roads, such as 243rd St and 435th Ave, which carve through the farmland and cross the meandering path of Wolf Cr. The map preserves the locations of several important community landmarks that are vital for local history and genealogical research. These include the Immanuel Lutheran Church Cem in the northeast, as well as the Pleasant Hill Cem and Hillside Cem further south. The convergence of Miner, Hanson, and McCook county boundaries across the northern and western sections of the quadrangle illustrates the intersection of jurisdictional lines in this rural South Dakota territory.
