About this map

Montrose serves as the central hub of this McCook County landscape, situated at the confluence of several regional waterways. The town's grid is anchored by State St and 1st Ave, providing a clear view of its residential and civic core in the early 21st century. To the west and south, the town's history is reflected in its burial grounds, including Montrose Cem and Saint Patricks Cem, which are essential sites for genealogical research in the area.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the winding paths of the Little Vermillion River and the E Fork Vermillion River. The southern portion of the map reveals the East Fork Vermillion River Reservoir, where the river broadens significantly. The surrounding terrain is defined by a precise section-line road network, including thoroughfares like Valley Rd and 451st Ave, which connect the scattered agricultural homesteads typical of South Dakota's prairie landscape.
