About this map

Cavour and Sheffield anchor this prairie landscape in Beadle County, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of numbered avenues and streets. The terrain is characterized by the meandering path of the James River in the west and the winding course of Shue Cr to the east. The area surrounding Lake Cavour serves as a primary drainage point for the local wetlands and depressions. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of regional burial sites, including the Saint Patrick Cem and the Cavour Protestant Cem located south of the main township, as well as the more isolated Shue Creek Cem near the creek's bend. This recent survey shows the enduring nature of these rural South Dakota settlements and the persistent water systems that have shaped farming in the region for generations.
