2015 Map of Fedora

About this map

Fedora sits at the intersection of a vast agricultural grid along the southern edge of this Sanborn and Miner County landscape. The terrain is defined by the wandering paths of Jim Cr and Redstone Cr, which cut through a mosaic of prairie depressions and wetlands. This 2015 survey reveals the persistence of early settlement patterns, where rural life is anchored by several small burial grounds including Prairie Flower Cem, Morgans Cem, and the Fedora Cem. The map illustrates the remarkably consistent section-line road system, such as 226th St and 418th Ave, which has dictated the movement and land use of this South Dakota region for over a century. For the local historian or genealogist, the exact placement of these cemeteries and the small settlement of Fedora provide precise coordinates for tracing family roots and farmstead locations in this quintessential Great Plains environment.
