2012 Map of Firesteel

About this map

Firesteel sits at the heart of this rural prairie landscape, a small community defined by its remote location and the winding waterways that cut through the surrounding plains. The geography is dominated by the slow-moving Little Moreau River to the east and Firesteel Cr to the north, creating a natural drainage pattern that dictates the placement of local roads like Co HWY-3. Scattered stock ponds and small basins, including Lake Wilson, dot the terrain between section lines. For local history researchers, the map provides precise placement of Our Savior Cem in the northeast, offering a specific point of reference for family lineage and early settlement patterns in this part of South Dakota. The sparse road network, including routes like Co HWY-3d and Co RD-cs21, reflects the enduring agricultural character of the region in the early twenty-first century.
