2021 Map of Langford SW

About this map

Augustana Cem sits on a high point overlooking the sprawling wetlands and intermittent drainages that define this corner of the Glacial Lakes region. The landscape is marked by the meeting of three counties—Brown, Marshall, and Day—where the section-line road grid adapts to the natural flow of Antelope Cr. This 2021 survey reveals a territory dominated by prairie potholes and marshy basins, with travel and commerce primarily channeled along routes like Co Hwy 16 and Co Hwy 13. The mapping reflects the enduring agricultural character of the northern South Dakota plains, where small burial grounds like Augustana provide quiet evidence of the area's early homesteading families and rural communities.
