About this map

Hillside and the surrounding prairie of Douglas County are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural roads and the winding paths of local waterways in this modern digital survey. The small settlement of Hillside sits near the center of the township, serving as a landmark in a landscape dominated by agricultural sections. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds for a rural area, including Saint John Cem and Friedhof Cem, which often point to the locations of early parish communities and family homesteads.

The drainage of the land is primarily managed by the S Fork Twelvemile Cr, which meanders across the northern sections, while Coffee Cr and Pony Cr drain the southeastern corner. Roads such as Co HWY 560 and Co RD 3 provide the primary infrastructure connecting these remote farmsteads and cemeteries, including Roberts Chapel Cem and Evangelic Cem. This documentation provides a precise record of the traditional township-and-range divisions that have organized South Dakota's interior since settlement.
