2021 Map of Montrose

About this map

The Montrose community serves as the primary focal point of this eastern South Dakota survey, situated where the Little Vermillion River joins the East Fork Vermillion River. The landscape is defined by the high glacial plateau of the Coteau des Prairies, which influences the drainage patterns of local waterways like Battle Cr. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include the Montrose Cem north of town and Saint Patrick's Catholic Cem located to the southwest. This area preserves a grid-based agricultural network across McCook and Minnehaha counties, intersected by major transit corridors including Interstate 90 and State Route 38. The map documents the persistent settlement patterns of this prairie region, showing the layout of residential streets such as Elder St and Kluckholm St in the heart of the village.
