2021 Map of Farmer

About this map

Farmer serves as the central hub for this portion of Hanson County, situated amidst an agricultural landscape defined by section lines and local drainages. The settlement is anchored by the Saint Peters Catholic Cem, a key landmark for genealogists and local historians tracking early families in the region. The terrain is notably water-rich for the plains, featuring several active creek systems including Pierre Cr in the northwest and Bloom Cr flowing through the southern sections. Towards the east, Wolf Cr and Plum Cr carve subtle pathways through the fields, while Welker Lake provides a distinct hydraulic feature south of the main town. The grid of rural routes, such as 426th Ave and 252nd St, illustrates the enduring organization of the South Dakota prairie.
