2015 Map of De Smet

About this map

De Smet serves as the central hub of this Kingsbury County landscape, situated atop the Coteau des Prairies plateau. The town's grid is meticulously detailed, showing the street network from Front St down to 4th St SE, including locally significant corridors like Sherwood Ave SW and Loftus Ave SW. To the north, the terrain is defined by the basins of Spirit Lake and Mud Lake, providing a clear view of the area's glacial hydrology. Genealogists and local historians will find the Spirit Lake Cem positioned near the northeastern shores of its namesake lake. The presence of Wilder Airport north of town reflects the region's mid-century aviation infrastructure, while the surrounding sections maintain the rigid north-south township and range lines that characterize the South Dakota prairie.
