2021 Map of Irene

About this map

Irene sits at the intersection of three counties, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural plains in this southeastern South Dakota landscape. The town is flanked by a significant concentration of rural cemeteries, including Salem Cem, Hillcrest Cem, and the Trondhjem Cem further south. These sites, along with the Pioneer Cem near the center of the survey, provide critical anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracking early settlement families. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Turkey Cr, which meanders through the township grids of T96N and T95N, while Smoky Run touches the southwestern corner. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road system, with routes like Co HWY 29 and 297th St providing the primary framework for this productive farming region.
