1978 Map of Hosmer SE

About this map

Glacial potholes and small water bodies dominate this prairie landscape along the county line between McPherson County and Edmunds County. During the late 1970s, this area of South Dakota was defined by its geometric township divisions and small-scale gravel extraction. The map preserves the location of rural landmarks essential for genealogical research, including Mohr Cem in the north and Hope Cem to the southwest. Civil townships like Sangamon, North Bryant, Bryant, and Gleno provide a clear framework for identifying historic land tracts and homesteads. Scattered Gravel Pit operations and various wells indicate the localized nature of the rural economy, while numerous benchmark elevations such as BM 1879 document the subtle topography of the Great Plains before modern agricultural consolidation significantly altered the landscape's finer details.
