2012 Map of Ree Heights NE

About this map

Alden Cem sits as a quiet landmark in the southwest corner of this section of Hand County, serving as a primary point of interest for those tracing family history in this part of South Dakota. The landscape is defined by the meandering courses of Lost Cr and Wolf Cr, which snake through an orderly grid of section lines. This arrangement of roads, including 354th Ave and 187th St, reflects the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the prairie into a network of farmsteads and rural infrastructure. The map illustrates a characteristic Great Plains agricultural pattern, where natural drainages provide the only variation in an otherwise strictly surveyed landscape of section roads and isolated plots.
