2015 Map of Rockham

About this map

The town of Rockham serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the mid-2010s, situated just north of the Faulk Co Hand Co line. This prairie region is defined by a grid of rural section roads, including 368th Ave and 171st St, which facilitate movement between the scattered farmsteads of the eastern Dakotas. Just northwest of the town center, the Rockham Cem provides a point of historical continuity for local families. The natural drainage of the land is shaped by the winding course of Dove Cr and the waters of Zell Lake to the northeast, while Bryant Cr meanders through the southern sections. This survey illustrates the persistent township and range structure that has organized South Dakota’s plains since the early days of settlement.
