2021 Map of Date

About this map

Date remains the primary focal point of this Perkins County landscape, situated where the high plains are carved by the winding drainage of Antelope Cr. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching region defined by its sections and a thin network of local roads such as Date Rd and Peggy Creek Rd. Genealogists will find the Date Cem located to the east of the main settlement area, providing a tangible link to the families who established themselves in these townships. The terrain is characterized by the subtle draws of Dog Cr and Brushy Cr, showing the natural water distribution that historically dictated land use and settlement patterns in this part of South Dakota.
