2017 Map of Highmore

About this map

Highmore serves as the central hub of this Hyde County landscape, where the rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System meets the organized street plan of the town. The settlement pattern is defined by its agricultural and transit foundations, visible in the convergence of Experiment Farm Rd and Commercial Ave near the town center. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a cluster of burial grounds south of the main township, including Saint Marys Catholic Cem, Highmore Cem, and the Immaculate Conception Cem. Outside the residential core, the Highmore Municipal Airport and a vast network of section-line roads like 191st St and 338th Ave illustrate the expansive nature of the South Dakota prairie, where township lines like t113n r72w and t112n r71w organize the high plains terrain.
