2017 Map of Mittelstedt Slough

About this map

Ebenezer Baptist Cem serves as a primary landmark in this rural landscape of South Dakota, situated near the boundary between Hand and Buffalo Counties. The topography is defined by significant wetlands and water bodies, including Mittelstedt Slough, Voneye Slough, and Rembfer Lake, which punctuate the prairie terrain. The map records a grid of gravel roads and section lines, such as 220th St and 364th Ave, that provide the infrastructure for this agricultural region. Evidence of the drainage patterns is seen in the meandering path of Crow Cr in the southwest. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent character of a Great Plains township, where the land's use is dictated by its hydrology and the early Baptist heritage of its settlers.
