2017 Map of Enterprise School

About this map

The Enterprise School and a collection of rural burial grounds define this landscape where the borders of Hettinger and Adams Counties meet. This survey provides a modern topographical view of a region rooted in small-town infrastructure and prairie agriculture. Settled burial sites like Saint Helena Cem, Tepee Butte Cem, and Peace Lutheran Cem are scattered across the high ground, serving as anchors for local genealogy research. The terrain is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Tepee Butte, while the hydrology is dominated by the winding paths of Chanta Peta Cr and Cedar Cr, which cut through the township sections. These watercourses and the presence of Russian Slough indicate a drainage pattern that has historically shaped the placement of roads like 76th St SW and the rural farmsteads of the Dakota plains.
