2017 Map of Northville

About this map

Northville and Mellette anchor this section of the South Dakota prairie, situated along the southern edge of the Brown Co and Spink Co border. The landscape is defined by the meandering path of Snake Creek, which winds through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, and the extensive wetlands of Big Slough that dominate the central plains. These natural features dictated the early layout of the region's section-line road grid, which remains largely intact. A small settlement at Mansfield sits right on the county line, while Northville shows its local street plan, including Main St and Elm St. For those researching local heritage, the Fairview Cem is a significant landmark located just north of Northville, serving as a primary point of interest for genealogical study in this agricultural heartland.
