2015 Map of Lake Byron NW

About this map

Irving Cem sits on the northern edge of this high plains landscape, a primary point of interest for genealogists researching family ties in this corner of the Dakota prairie. The map captures a section of the Spink Co Beadle Co boundary, where the rural grid of the Public Land Survey System creates a geometric network of section lines and gravel roads. Waterways like Foster Cr meander across the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that define this agricultural region. This 2015 survey reflects a landscape shaped by late 20th-century farming practices, where isolated dwellings and cemeteries remain the primary markers of human settlement among the vast fields and intermittent wetlands of Spink County.
