2015 Map of Montrose

About this map

Montrose sits at the confluence of several vital South Dakota waterways, serving as the primary hub of this eastern McCook County landscape. The town is bounded by the Little Vermillion River and the East Fork Vermillion River, which wind through the township before feeding into East Vermillion Lake to the southeast. This geography is defined by its position on the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau that shapes the drainage patterns of local streams like Battle Cr. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several significant burial grounds located just outside the main settlement, including Montrose Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and Saint Patrick Cem. The surrounding sections are organized by an orderly grid of rural routes such as Valley Rd and Duck Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of the region as it transitioned into the twenty-first century.
