About this map

Sheffield occupies a central position in this Beadle County landscape, situated just north of the wetlands surrounding Lake Cavour. The area is defined by a rigid grid of section-line roads, including 205th St and 407th Ave, which partition the prairie into large agricultural blocks. For those researching local heritage, several burial grounds are scattered across the township, including Shue Creek Cem near the meandering Shue Cr and both Saint Patrick Cem and Cavour Protestant Cem located further south. The James River cuts across the western edge of the territory, providing a natural contrast to the surveyed precision of the surrounding roads. This 2012 snapshot of Beadle County illustrates a rural community anchored by small settlements and the persistent drainage patterns of the Great Plains.
