2017 Map of Glencross

About this map

Glencross sits at the junction of several rural county routes, serving as a primary point of settlement on this prairie landscape. The community is anchored by the Sacred Heart Cem, which provides a vital touchstone for local genealogy and parish history. The surrounding terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, notably the winding path of Whitehorse Cr to the south and Dog Butte Cr to the west. A prominent elevation, Dog Butte, rises above the northern plains as a distinct navigational landmark for the region. Numerous small wetlands and seasonal ponds dot the sections across the Corson Co Dewey Co boundary, illustrating the hydrology of north-central South Dakota. This 2017 study captures the modern layout of township and range lines, from t18n r26e down to t16n r25e, preserving the contemporary configuration of ranching access roads and traditional land divisions.
