1970 Map of Kranzburg

About this map

Kranzburg and Waverly anchor this eastern South Dakota landscape, positioned along the border where Codington and Deuel counties meet. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Willow Creek and Stray Horse Creek, which cut through the undulating prairie. A significant historical footprint is visible in the form of the Old Railroad Grade, which once facilitated the movement of goods and people across the region. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Holy Rosary Cem and St Josephs Cem, providing precise locations for local family history research. The presence of several Gravel Pits and scattered wells reflects the local extraction economy and rural infrastructure that sustained these small farming communities in the early 1970s.
