2017 Map of Marvin

About this map

The Marvin settlement sits atop the striking geological rise of the Coteau des Prairies, an expansive highland that dominates this portion of South Dakota. In 2017, the landscape reveals a clear division between the upland plateau and the surrounding plains, marked by a sparse network of county roads like Co RD 16 and Co HWY 2. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including the Eastman Cem and the Blue Cloud Abbey Cem, alongside the dual locations of Osceola 1 Cem and Osceola 2 Cem. These landmarks, along with Twin Lakes at the southern margin, provide a detailed look at the rural character of Grant County and the adjacent Roberts County border during the early 21st century.
