2021 Map of Duncan Church

About this map

The county line between Hand Co and Buffalo Co bisects this section of the Great Plains, where the rural landscape is defined by the winding course of Crow Cr. The area is characterized by a sparse grid of section roads, including 221st St and 357th Ave, which connect the isolated landmarks of the early 20th-century settlement era. Centrally located, the Duncan Church and the adjacent Saint Placidus Catholic Cem serve as significant touchstones for local genealogical research, while the Mondamin Cem sits further west near the township boundaries. This 2021 update preserves the exact spatial relationship of these enduring prairie landmarks, illustrating how the historical community centers continue to anchor the agricultural layout of central South Dakota.
