2021 Map of Riverside

About this map

The James River snakes southward through this South Dakota landscape, defining the border between Davison and Hanson counties. The settlement of Riverside sits prominently along the eastern bluffs, while the eastern edge of Mitchell occupies the western margin. This 2021 survey reveals a deeply agricultural grid intersected by numerous watercourses, including Rock Creek and Firesteel Creek. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by burial sites such as Holiness Cem and Rosedale Cem, both situated near the river's winding course. Family-named infrastructure like Ben Cummings Rd and Bartscher Rd indicates the enduring legacy of local landowners. The terrain is marked by significant drainage patterns, with Dry Run and Enemy Creek feeding into the main river valley, showing how the natural hydrology continues to shape the road network and property boundaries in this prairie region.
