2017 Map of Hosmer SE

About this map

Glacial depressions and small prairie potholes dominate the landscape along the border of McPherson County and Edmunds County. This rural section of the Great Plains is defined by its rectilinear grid of section roads, including 124th St and 342nd Ave, which navigate around hundreds of small, scattered wetlands. The map provides significant genealogical value for the area, identifying local burial grounds such as Mohr Cem in the northern section and Hoffnung's Hope Lutheran Cem further south. These sites, along with the township and range designations like t124n r70w, serve as primary landmarks for tracing early family farmsteads and the spiritual history of the German-Russian heritage common to this part of South Dakota.
