2015 Map of Dell Rapids

About this map

Dell Rapids sits along the winding course of the Big Sioux River, a landscape defined by the distinct quartzite formations known as the Dells of the Sioux River. This 2015 survey captures the city's grid-like development north of the river, while the southern reach includes Dells Island and the rural outskirts leading toward Baltic. The topography transitions across the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that influences the drainage patterns of Silver Cr and Slip-up Cr. Genealogy researchers will find several local burial grounds clearly marked, including Dell Rapids Cem, Stordahl Cem, and Saint Olaf Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural sections of the county line. The presence of Weelborg Airport and a network of numbered section roads, such as Jasper St and 250th St, illustrate the modern infrastructure supporting the farming communities of eastern South Dakota.
