2017 Map of Presho SW

About this map

Hilmoe Cem stands as a quiet cultural landmark in this rural landscape of Lyman County, South Dakota. This area is defined by the winding paths of Mission Cr and Scallion Cr, which cut through the terrain of the Missouri Plateau. The map reveals a strict geometric grid of section lines and local roads, including 295th Ave and 244th St, that delineate the agricultural layout of the Great Plains. Apart from the cemetery, which provides a point of interest for genealogists and local historians, the landscape is primarily dominated by drainage patterns and the path of Hwy 26 as it crosses the northern sections of the township. The survey highlights the intersection of natural watercourses and the human-imposed township and range system common across the Dakotas.
