About this map

The Cheyenne River flows through the northwestern corner of this Fall River County landscape, cutting a path through a territory defined by expansive draws and seasonal drainages. For local historians and genealogists, this survey is exceptionally rich in small family and community burial sites, including Fairview Cem, Horsehead Cem, and the Reinke Cem and Smithwick Cem located near one another in the eastern sections. The land is marked by significant topographical features such as Slate Spring Draw and Horse Camp Draw, which suggest the historic movement of livestock and water across this arid region. A network of rural roads like Lennon School Rd and Co Hwy 19b Cemetary provide a framework for the sparse settlement patterns and ranching infrastructure that persist in this part of South Dakota.
