2015 Map of Rose Hill Cemetery

About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a vast plateau of glacial origin, defines the rolling upland landscape of this northeast South Dakota region. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and high ground, crossing the boundary between Marshall Co and Day Co. Water drainage is primarily captured by the winding course of Antelope Cr, which snakes through the southern half of the quadrangle. A rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads, including 126th St and 427th Ave, organizes the agricultural interior, providing access to the scattered cemeteries that serve as the primary markers of local history. The map captures a quiet rural continuity where the land's geological character remains the dominant feature over century-old settlement patterns.
