2012 Map of De Smet

About this map

De Smet serves as the focal point of this Kingsbury County landscape, where the town's grid is defined by thoroughfares such as Calumet Ave NE and Prairie Ave. The surrounding prairie is marked by a network of sectional roads and glacial water bodies, most notably Spirit Lake and the adjacent Mud Lake to the north. This mapping of the early twenty-first century captures the rural infrastructure that supports the region's agricultural character and the legacy of its famous early residents. Local history is anchored by sites like the Spirit Lake Cem and the Wilder Airport, while the central town core maintains its essential services, including the local Po. The layout of the streets, including Front St NW and Chase St NE, provides a clear view of the settlement's organized growth and its relationship to the open South Dakota plains.
