About this map

The North Dakota-South Dakota border defines the central axis of this landscape, where the prairie transitions across state and county lines. In this section of the Lake Traverse District, the terrain is marked by the irregular depressions of Big Slough and Indian Slough, characteristic of the region’s glacial hydrology. A sparse network of section-line roads, such as Co Road 21 and 101st St SE, provides the framework for rural life. Genealogists and local researchers will find evidence of the area's cultural heritage at the Bohemian Cem and Thompson Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks of the early families who settled this borderland between Richland and Roberts counties.
