2012 Map of Garretson East

About this map

Booge serves as a central anchor for this corner of South Dakota and Minnesota, where the landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Split Rock Cr and Springwater Cr. The terrain includes the notable Devils Gulch, a geologically distinct feature that breaks the regular grid of section lines and gravel roads. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map provides an exceptional level of cemetery detail for a rural area, documenting the locations of Sherman Cem, Saint Rose Cem, Zion Cem, Springwater Cem, West Palisades Cem, and Palisades Cem. These sites, along with the intersecting county highways and secondary roads like Co HWY-63 and 487th Ave, illustrate the long-established burial grounds and travel corridors that have served the farming communities in this border region for generations.
