About this map

Hendricks sits along the northern shore of Lake Hendricks, anchoring a landscape defined by the prominent Coteau des Prairies upland. This 2016 survey captures the intricate borderlands where South Dakota meets Minnesota, specifically the meeting point of Deuel, Brookings, and Lincoln counties. The area is marked by a high density of small, community-focused sites that speak to the region's diverse immigrant history, including the Bohemian Cem, Swedish Mission Church, and its associated Swedish Mission Church Cem.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with the headwaters of the Lac qui Parle River draining the prairie while larger bodies like Fish Lake and Twin Lake punctuate the grid of country roads. To the west, the map tracks S Dakota Highway 28 as it crosses the state line, providing a clear view of the rural transport network connecting isolated farmsteads and cemeteries such as Hansonville Cem and Wood Lake Cem.
