About this map

Waverly and Kranzburg anchor this segment of the eastern South Dakota plains, situated upon the distinct geological upland known as the Coteau des Prairies. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads such as 462nd Ave and 170th St, which partition the agricultural landscape between the drainages of Willow Cr and Stray Horse Cr.

For family historians, the map provides precise locations for several local burial sites, including the Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem in the north and the Holy Rosary Cem further south. A notable point of genealogical interest is the Spooner Children Graves located near Kranzburg, alongside the isolated Schneider's Grove Cem. These small, localized landmarks offer a tangible link to the early families who settled this region near the border of Codington and Grant counties.
