About this map

The North Dakota and South Dakota state line defines this landscape, where the prairie of Dickey County meets McPherson County. The area is characterized by a high density of small wetlands and depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau region. On the South Dakota side, the Spring Creek Colony stands as a significant communal settlement in the southeast quadrant. To the north, the terrain is marked by geographic features such as Hoevens Gulch and Webers Gulch, which cut through the undulating hills. A quiet local history is anchored by the Saint Peters Cem, located along 101st St SE, serving as a central landmark for genealogical research in this rural borderland. The map provides a precise view of the section lines and rural road networks, including 102nd St SE State Line Rd, that have organized this agricultural territory for generations.
