About this map

The Coteau des Prairies, a vast glacial plateau, dominates this Day County landscape, characterized by its complex network of seasonal wetlands and small basins. Central to this topography is Lynn Lake, surrounded by the high-relief hills and depressions typical of this prairie region. The land is organized by a precise grid of rural routes, including Sparby Rd and various numbered avenues and streets that reflect the systematic agricultural partitioning of South Dakota.

Genealogical interest is centered on three distinct burial grounds that speak to the area's early settlement history: Skudesnes Cem in the north, Bergen Cem near the western edge, and New Sweden Cem to the southeast. These sites, often associated with the Scandinavian heritage of the region's homesteaders, provide specific geographic points for researchers tracing family history within the townships of t123n r57w and t122n r57w.
