2017 Map of Hoagland Lake

About this map

Union Cem and Viola Valley Cem stand as significant genealogical landmarks in this section of rural South Dakota, located north of the Jerauld Co Aurora Co border. This 2017 survey illustrates a classic prairie landscape defined by drainage patterns and agricultural section lines. The hydrography is centered around Hoagland Lake and the winding course of W Br Firesteel Cr, which carves through the central terrain. Landform features like Hawkeye Valley and Piersons Draw indicate the natural basins and coulees of the region, while man-made water management is visible at Eraser Dam. The area is methodically gridded by local thoroughfares such as 382nd Ave and 234th St, reflecting the persistent township-and-range structure of the Great Plains.
