2012 Map of Fraser Dam

About this map

Firesteel Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape in Jerauld County, serving as the primary hydrological spine of the region. The map reveals a structured grid of rural section lines defined by routes like 234th St and 389th Ave, which connect isolated homesteads and community landmarks. Local history and genealogy are centered on three distinct burial grounds: Solberg Cemetery, German Cemetery, and Charity Cemetery, each situated along these gravel thoroughfares. To the southwest, the impoundment of the creek at Fraser Dam creates Lake Fraser, a notable water feature amidst the surrounding terrain characterized by natural drainage features such as Motts Draw, Piersons Draw, and Donegans Draw. These topographic depressions illustrate the intricate drainage patterns of the Dakota prairie.
