About this map

Hayti serves as the focal point of this Hamlin County survey, which documents the township and surrounding prairie landscapes. The town is situated just east of the expansive Lake Marsh, a significant hydrological feature that dominates the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by the rolling glacial highlands of the Coteau des Prairies, also labeled here as The Coteaus, which significantly influenced the historical settlement patterns and agricultural development of the region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Pleasant View Cem and West Norden Cem, providing clear reference points for family research. The map illustrates a strict section-line road grid, from 182nd St down to 190th St, typical of the Great Plains' rural infrastructure. These roads connect the dispersed farmsteads of the high prairie to the municipal hub at Hayti, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of the South Dakota landscape.
