2021 Map of Estelline

About this map

Estelline serves as the primary hub of activity in this pocket of eastern South Dakota, situated at the intersection of S Dakota Highway 28 and the winding Big Sioux River. The landscape here transitions from the riparian bottomlands of the river valley to the rising elevation of the Coteau des Prairies, a prominent glacial upland that defines the topography of the region. The map captures several small tributaries feeding the main river, including the aptly named Hidewood Cr, Bullhead Run, and Peg Munky Run. For those researching local heritage, the settlement's northern edge is home to a concentration of burial grounds, including Hillcrest Cem, the Estelline City Cem, and Saint Francis de Sales Catholic Cem. The surrounding sections are partitioned by a grid of rural routes such as Co Rd 7 and Co Rd A, marking the intersection of Hamlin, Deuel, and Brookings counties.
