2021 Map of Mina NW

About this map

Craven serves as a central point on this modern South Dakota landscape, situated along the rail line that transects the northern plains of Edmunds County. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Preachers Run and the N Fork Snake Cr, which wind through a patchwork of agricultural sections and township boundaries. For those researching local family history, the presence of the New Straasburg Cem in the northeastern corner of the map provides a specific point of reference for early German-Russian or regional settlement patterns. The road network, including the path of Old Hwy 12 and various section-line roads like Co Rd 22, reflects the enduring rural infrastructure that has supported this prairie community for generations.
