About this map

Montrose serves as the central hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, situated at the junction of the East Fork Vermillion River and the Little Vermillion River. The town layout reflects a classic Midwestern grid, anchored by a local Po and the residential streets of Fuller Ave and Church Ave. To the south, the terrain descends toward East Vermillion Lake, a significant water body formed by the river's path, while the western reaches are drained by Battle Cr.

The presence of Saint Patrick's Cem and Montrose Cem on the town's periphery provides valuable reference points for genealogists tracing family roots in McCook County. The map also delineates the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that characterizes the regional topography. This survey effectively documents the intersection of rural agriculture and river-based geography in the early twenty-first century.
