2012 Map of Hosmer NE

About this map

Glacial potholes and small prairie wetlands dot this portion of McPherson County, creating a fragmented water-rich landscape characteristic of the Missouri Coteau. The land is organized by a precise section-line road network, including 114th St and 347th Ave, which service the remote agricultural plots of the region. This 2012 survey highlights the cultural imprint of early German-Russian and European settlers through its recorded burial grounds. The Lutheran Cem and Congregational Cem sit as quiet landmarks in an area otherwise defined by expansive fields and intermittent seasonal ponds, showing the persistence of local community identity in rural South Dakota.
