2015 Map of Carthage

About this map

Carthage sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Miner County, positioned just south of the Kingsbury County line. The town's grid is anchored by West Main Street and East Main Street, serving as a central hub for the surrounding township. To the north, Lake Carthage provides a prominent water feature in a region defined by the subtle elevations of the Coteau des Prairies. The local genealogy and history of the community are preserved at several sites, including Sacred Heart Cem and Pleasant View Cem near the town center, and Trinity Cem to the west. A network of section-line roads like 217th Street and 425th Avenue divide the prairie, while natural drainages such as Redstone Creek, Rock Creek, and Jim Creek meander through the farmland, illustrating the persistent drainage patterns of the eastern South Dakota plains.
