2021 Map of Old Stickney Lake

About this map

The boundary of Aurora Co and Davison Co runs through this landscape of the South Dakota plains. In the early 21st century, this area of Davison County is characterized by its organized section-line road grid, including 260th St and 393rd Ave, which structure the rural landscape. Water bodies like Stickney Lake and Old Stickney Lake provide natural focal points in a region otherwise dominated by agricultural partitions and the seasonal flow of Twelvemile Cr. The settlement at Metzgerville and several scattered cemeteries, including the Union Cem and Nicolaisen Cem, mark the enduring sites of local heritage. The presence of Zion Lutheran Cem reflects the cultural and religious foundations of the community in this part of the Dakotas.
