About this map

The Big Sioux River meanders through the heart of this Minnehaha County landscape, defining the character of both the terrain and the local settlements. Near the center of the sheet, the river carves through the striking Dells of the Sioux River, a prominent geological feature just south of the main residential grid. The town of Baltic sits in the southwestern corner, anchored by its proximity to the river and the surrounding agricultural sections.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, including the Dell Rapids Cemetery on the northern edge of the community, and the smaller Stordahl Cem, Saint Olaf Cem, and Nelson Cem scattered across the township. The infrastructure is a mix of traditional section roads and specialized sites like the Weelborg Airport, showing how the area has integrated modern transportation with its historic river-valley roots.
