2017 Map of Hosmer NW

About this map

Glacial potholes and prairie wetlands define this corner of McPherson County, where a dense network of seasonal water bodies and marshes stretches across the landscape. The most prominent cultural landmark is the Congregational Cem, located in the southwest corner of the map at the junction of 121st St and 337th Ave. This cemetery serves as a vital genealogical marker for the early families who settled these sections of the Missouri Coteau region. The area is gridded by a strict township and range system, primarily connected by county routes like Co Hwy 12 and Co Hwy 7. The map illustrates the persistent agricultural and drainage patterns of South Dakota's northern plains, where section lines and rural roads navigate around thousands of small, unintegrated depressions in the terrain.
