2015 Map of Loyalton

About this map

Loyalton sits as the primary settlement in this stretch of Edmunds County, defined by its traditional Great Plains grid of section roads and scattered prairie wetlands. The community is situated along 145th St, surrounded by an expansive agricultural landscape that reflects the region's long-standing reliance on farming and ranching. To the north, the Loyalton Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians, providing a quiet record of the families who settled this part of South Dakota. The topography is marked by numerous small, intermittent water bodies and depressions, illustrating the glacial heritage of the Missouri Coteau region. This landscape is networked by a systematic grid of gravel and dirt routes, including 345th Ave and 140th St, which facilitate movement between the remote homesteads and town centers typical of early 21st-century rural life.
