2015 Map of Gretna

About this map

The settlement of Gretna serves as the focal point for this section of Edmunds County, situated in a landscape characterized by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands. The survey reveals a rigorous sectional grid defined by roads such as 333rd Ave and 134th St, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on South Dakota's agricultural development. This specific geography, dominated by numerous unnamed water bodies, suggests a territory where land use is dictated by the seasonally varying water levels of the surrounding basins. To the south, the Cloyd Valley Cem stands as a significant landmark for genealogical research, marking the location of an established community cemetery near the intersection of 331st Ave and 138th St.
