2017 Map of Humboldt

About this map

Humboldt serves as the central hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, positioned along the edge of the Coteau des Prairies upland. The settlement pattern is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and named routes like 258th St and 457th Ave, punctuated by significant community landmarks including several cemeteries. Genealogists and local researchers can identify the Saint Paul Lutheran Cem, Our Lady of Lourdes Cem, Humboldt Public Cem, and Saint Ann's Cem, all located in close proximity to the town center. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the rolling glacial deposits of the plateau, featuring scattered water bodies such as Lost Lake and Beaver Lake, while the W Br Skunk Cr weaves through the northern sections, illustrating the drainage patterns of this agricultural region.
