About this map

Old Saint John Church Cem stands as a focal point of this rural prairie landscape in Edmunds County, South Dakota. The topography is defined by the repetitive section lines of the Public Land Survey System, where townships like t121n r71w and t121n r72w meet. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent agricultural grid of the Great Plains, with roads like Co Rd 5 and 337th Ave acting as the primary arteries through a terrain dotted with numerous small wetlands and seasonal depressions. The lack of concentrated urban development highlights the area's continued reliance on the historical township and range system for spatial organization, making it a valuable record for those studying land use and small rural congregations in the early 21st century.
