2021 Map of Center Point

About this map

Turkey Cr winds through the rural landscape of the Turner and Yankton county line, anchoring a region defined by its long-standing agricultural roots and pioneer-era church sites. This mapping reveals a high density of early burial grounds, often associated with specific immigrant congregations, such as Turkey-Valley Lutheran Cem and Turkey Valley Baptist Cem. These sites, along with Evergreen Cem and Bethania Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this part of South Dakota. The topography is marked by the presence of Turkey Ridge Airport in the northern reaches, while the section-line road grid, including Co Hwy 365 and 290th St, organizes the territory into the traditional checkerboard of the Great Plains homestead system.
