2017 Map of Ness Chain Lakes

About this map

Redstone Cem lies near the intersection of 246th St and Co Rd 4, serving as a central point of local history in this South Dakota prairie landscape. The area is defined by a series of glacial depressions and water bodies, most notably the namesake Ness Chain Lake and the nearby School Section Lakes. These hydrologic features are connected by the winding path of Rock Cr, which meanders southeast toward the boundary of Hanson Co. The map reveals a strictly regulated section-line road network, such as 420th Ave and 244th St, that delineates the agricultural tracts of the region. Local drainage patterns are further marked by Stone House Lake to the north and the seasonal flows of Johnson Creek in the southern reaches, illustrating the subtle topography of the Great Plains.
