2017 Map of Rezac Lake

About this map

Bohemian Cem and the surrounding prairie of south-central South Dakota define this landscape along the border of Hyde and Hand counties. The area is characterized by a sparse grid of section-line roads, including Bohemian 179th St, which serve the expansive agricultural tracts of the region. The drainage of Baloun Cr and Lost Cr meanders through the rolling terrain, punctuated by small glacial depressions and wetlands common to this part of the Great Plains. Rezac Lake stands as the primary water feature in a township-and-range system that remains remarkably consistent with its original late-19th-century survey layout. This map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure in the early 21st century, where long-established burial grounds like the Bohemian Cem serve as enduring markers of the settler heritage in these high plains townships.
