2012 Map of Dolton

About this map

Silver Lake dominates the central landscape of this rural South Dakota quadrangle, providing a significant hydrological anchor amidst a grid of agricultural section lines. The settlement patterns are defined by a meticulous network of roads, including 438th Ave and 273rd St, which navigate the prairie terrain. In the northeast, the small community of Dolton is oriented around its historical connection to the rail corridor, evidenced by Railroad St and Main St. Genealogical interest is concentrated in three distinct cemeteries—Kleinkassell Cem, Schartner Cem, and Tschetter Cem—which reflect the family legacies and early settlement history of Turner County. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where the interplay of water bodies like Silver Lake and established road networks continues to shape the local geography.
