2015 Map of Irene

About this map

Irene sits at a three-county junction in southeastern South Dakota, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. This 2015 survey captures a landscape precisely organized by the Public Land Survey System, where a rigid grid of roads like 452nd Ave and 297th St dictates the flow of travel between farmsteads. The town itself is centered on E Main St, with the local cemetery, Hillcrest Cem, positioned just to the west. Outside the town limits, the terrain is defined by subtle drainage patterns, most notably Turkey Cr and Smoky Run, which carve winding paths through the rectangular sections. Genealogists will find the distribution of burial grounds particularly significant, with Salem Cem and Pioneer Cem located a short distance from the settlement, marking the established heritage of this rural community.
