2017 Map of Platte

About this map

Platte serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Charles Mix County, South Dakota. The town's grid is clearly defined by arterial routes like Main St and Pennsylvania Ave, with the Platte Municipal Airport located just to the northeast. The surrounding township is marked by a high density of burial grounds, providing a significant record for genealogical research, including Friedhem Lutheran Cem, Saint Peters Cem, and the Old Platte Cem. The natural geography is dominated by the meandering course of Platte Creek, which flows through the center of the township toward Carroll Lake. This survey illustrates the persistent section-line road network characteristic of the Great Plains, where long avenues like 367th Ave and 370th Ave connect isolated farmsteads and rural landmarks like the Rock Hill Cem.
