About this map

Henry and Hazel anchor this section of the South Dakota prairie, situated within the distinctive glacial landscape of the Coteau des Prairies. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small wetlands and potholes, reflecting the unique topography of this highland plateau. The town of Henry sits near the northern margin of the sheet beside Lake Henry, while the community of Hazel is positioned in the southeast corner.

A rigid grid of county roads, including CR-10 and Mustang Ave, divides the landscape into sections, crossing between Codington, Clark, and Hamlin counties. Local history is marked by the presence of Our Saviors Church Cem and Hazel Cem, which serve as genealogical touchstones for the surrounding rural townships. The map documents the persistent agricultural and transportation patterns of the region, from the residential streets like Lafayette St to the sprawling patchwork of water and land.
