2015 Map of Mittelstedt Slough

About this map

Mittelstedt Slough and Voneye Slough dominate this section of the prairie, where the borders of Hand, Buffalo, and Jerauld Counties converge. This 2015 survey reflects a landscape defined by the Public Land Survey System, with a rigid grid of gravel roads like 220th St and 363rd Ave cutting across the undulating terrain. A lone religious landmark, the Ebenezer Baptist Cem, stands near the intersection of 219th Street and 364th Avenue, serving as a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this rural corner of South Dakota. In the southwest, the headwaters of Crow Cr begin their descent through the coulees, contrasting with the many small, unnamed kettle ponds and wetlands that dot the northern townships.
