2015 Map of Gary

About this map

Gary sits directly on the border between South Dakota and Minnesota, serving as a focal point for this landscape defined by the Coteau des Prairies upland plateau. The town is surrounded by a network of drainage systems, including the W Br Lac qui Parle River and several smaller streams like Monighan Cr and Cobb Cr. This 2015 survey illustrates the precision of modern section-line roads that impose a strict grid over the subtle contours of the glacial moraine. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the western edge of the settlement by the Grandview Cem and Calvary Cem, which overlook the township's primary residential and agricultural intersections. The map captures the meeting of three distinct jurisdictions: Deuel County in South Dakota, and Lac Qui Parle and Yellow Medicine Counties in Minnesota.
