2012 Map of Seneca NW

About this map

Alkali Lake sits in the northeastern corner of this Potter County landscape, a prominent hydrological feature in a region defined by its rigid section-line road network. The map reveals the quiet, rural character of the Great Plains, where the grid of 324th Ave, 327th Ave, and numbered streets like 148th St organize the vast agricultural space. Two burial grounds, Advent Cem and Spring Cem, are the primary markers of local heritage and genealogy on this sheet. The presence of these small cemeteries at rural intersections, separated by several miles of open country, illustrates the dispersed settlement pattern typical of the South Dakota prairie in the early twenty-first century.
