2016 Map of Jasper

About this map

Jasper and Sherman anchor this 2016 survey along the complex borderlands of Minnesota and South Dakota. The landscape is dominated by the Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau that shapes the local hydrology, with Split Rock Creek and Pipestone Cr cutting through the agricultural grid. This modern record is particularly valuable for genealogists and local historians, as it meticulously preserves the locations of several regional burial grounds, including Jasper Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, Old Highland Cem, and Rosendal Cem. The map illustrates the persistent 19th-century township-and-range framework that continues to define property lines and road layouts across the county lines of Moody, Minnehaha, Pipestone, and Rock. A dense network of rural routes like Highland Rd and 241st St provides a clear view of the contemporary settlement pattern in this prairie region.
