2015 Map of Kranzburg

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau shapes the geography of this Codington County landscape, where the settlements of Waverly and Kranzburg anchor a rural community defined by its township grids and prairie drainage. Small watercourses like Willow Creek and Stray Horse Creek meander through the terrain, illustrating the natural watershed before it meets the developed agricultural roads. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly rich in cemetery data, documenting sites such as Saint Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, Holy Rosary Cemetery, and the Schneider's Grove Cemetery. A unique and poignant landmark, the Spooner Children Graves, is noted in the southern portion of the quadrangle near Kranzburg, offering a specific point of interest for those researching early family histories and pioneer settlements in eastern South Dakota.
