2015 Map of Dempster

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau forms the foundation of this eastern South Dakota landscape, where the Big Sioux River flows along the western edge. The small settlement of Dempster is positioned near the southern boundary, reflecting the region's agricultural township structure. The map highlights distinct communal living arrangements through the presence of Claremont Colony and Poinsett Colony, which are situated amidst a dense grid of section-line roads like 463rd Ave and 187th St. Local heritage is anchored by significant religious and burial sites, including the Hamlin Reformed Church Cem and Bemis Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists. The eastern border transitions at the Hamlin Co Deuel Co line, while Hidewood Cr drains the undulating terrain of the coteau in the southeast.
