2012 Map of Glencross

About this map

The prairie landscape around Glencross is defined by its agricultural grid and distinct topographical landmarks. This area of South Dakota features Dog Butte, a prominent elevation that rises above the surrounding plains. The local community center of gravity is anchored by Sacred Heart Cem, located just south of the main settlement area. Water features are sparse but significant, including Spring Lake in the north and the winding drainage of Dog Butte Cr and Whitehorse Cr. The map reveals a highly structured road network, with numbered county routes like Co HWY-6 and Co HWY-8 providing the primary transit corridors through this rural expanse. The layout of these roads and the positioning of the small community of Glencross reflect a settlement pattern deeply tied to the township and range survey system.
