2015 Map of Humboldt

About this map

Humboldt sits at the intersection of a grid-work of local roads and the interstate, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural lands of Minnehaha County. The landscape is defined by the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that shapes the drainage of the W Br Skunk Cr and several small basins such as Lost Lake and Beaver Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the town's social fabric is reflected in its cluster of religious and burial sites, including the Saint Paul Lutheran Cem, the Humboldt Public Cemetery, and Our Lady of Lourdes Cem. This digital reproduction documents the township as it appeared in the mid-2010s, showing the precise layout of streets like S Main St and E N St alongside the rural section lines that have organized the South Dakota prairie for generations.
