2012 Map of Gertson Slough

About this map

Scandinavian Cem and Garfield Cem stand as quiet landmarks within this rural expanse of Hamlin County. The landscape is defined by its precise section-line grid, where gravel and paved roads like 444th Ave and 194th St segment the prairie into large agricultural blocks. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic South Dakota township structure where small family cemeteries and seasonal waterways provide the primary interruptions to the geometric farm parcels. The drainage of Dolph Cr wanders across the northern half of the quadrangle, eventually feeding toward the namesake Gertson Slough in the east. Further south, Saint Peters Cem sits near the intersection of 446th Ave, anchoring the southern edge of this farming community.
