2015 Map of New Effington

About this map

New Effington serves as the primary hub in this corner of Roberts County, South Dakota, situated at the intersection of CR-8 and 105th St. The surrounding landscape is a testament to the region's Lutheran and Scandinavian heritage, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds scattered across the township grid. These sites, including Faith Cem, Zions Cem, and Scandia Cem, mark the historic center points of community life outside the main town site. Natural depressions in the terrain are filled by Dobberstien Slough and Knebel Slough, which break the regular pattern of section lines. This 2015 survey reflects the enduring agricultural layout of the Lake Traverse District, where local roads like 462nd Ave and 112th St connect isolated farmsteads to the commercial center at New Effington.
