2012 Map of Hoagland Lake

About this map

Viola Valley Cem and Union Cem serve as quiet landmarks within this rural section of Jerauld County, where the landscape is defined by a grid of section-line roads and prairie wetlands. The township's water network is anchored by Hoagland Lake and the southeastern corner of Lake Fraser, while the meandering W Br Firesteel Cr drains the western territory. This 2012 survey illustrates a late-century agricultural pattern, where established cemetery sites remain the primary markers of historical community centers amidst the expansive farm plots. The precision of the road grid, from 379th Ave to 385th Ave, demonstrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the South Dakota plains.
