2022 Map of Hendricks

About this map

Hendricks sits at the southern edge of this prairie landscape, where the Lac qui Parle River begins its course and Lake Hendricks spans the border between Minnesota and South Dakota. The terrain is part of the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau characterized by numerous glacial wetlands and small water bodies such as Fish Lake, Twin Lake, and the Black Slough. This modern survey reveals a region deeply rooted in its immigrant heritage, as evidenced by several denominational burial grounds including Bohemian Cem, Swedish Mission Church Cem, and Hansonville Cem. The intersection of state and county lines—joining Deuel, Brookings, and Lincoln counties—is a defining feature of the local geography, with a grid of rural roads like S Dakota Highway 28 and Co RD 517 facilitating agricultural transport across the plains.
