2015 Map of Hitchcock

About this map

Hitchcock sits at the southern edge of this prairie landscape, where the boundary between Spink Co Beadle Co divides the township. This 2015 survey documents the geometric precision of the Great Plains, defined by a rigid grid of section roads including 182nd St and 387th Ave. The town itself is centered around Maple Ave and Clarke St, serving as a localized hub with its own Po and Hitchcock Ch. Outside the settlement, the map records long-standing community landmarks such as Tulare Cem in the northwest and Graceland Cem in the northeast. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and potholes, common to this glaciated region of South Dakota, which dictate the subtle shifts in the otherwise linear road network.
