2017 Map of Pukwana

About this map

Pukwana serves as a focal point for this Brule County landscape, situated amidst the section-line roads and open prairies of South Dakota. The town's grid, including Main St and Stockwell St, reflects the systematic settlement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A significant concentration of burial sites, such as the Saint Anthony Cem, Free Norweigan Lutheran Cem, Norwegian Cem, and Community Cem, suggests the diverse religious and cultural heritage of the early farming families in this region. Natural drainage is defined by the winding paths of American Cr and Bad Hand Cr, while the terrain breaks at Tischudy Gulch. To the east, the depression of Sharping Lake provides a notable break in the agricultural grid, illustrating the subtle hydrology of the Missouri Plateau.
