2021 Map of Dempster

About this map

Dempster anchors the southern portion of this landscape where the Big Sioux River and Hidewood Cr drain the high glacial plateau known as the Coteau des Prairies. This region is characterized by a high concentration of water-carved coulees and small wetlands, which define the local topography. For those tracing the area's social history, the presence of the Claremont Colony and the Hamlin Reformed Church Cem suggests the persistent cultural and communal ties that shaped this part of Hamlin County. The map reveals a strictly gridded section-line road system, featuring routes like 463rd Ave and Co Rd B, which connects the small settlement of Dempster to its outlying farms and the nearby Dempster Cem.
