2021 Map of Sisseton

About this map

The city of Sisseton serves as the focal point for this survey of the northeast South Dakota plains, situated within the Lake Traverse Reservation. As the seat of local government, the town is anchored by the Roberts County Courthouse and features a traditional street grid including names like Chestnut St, Spruce St E, and Walnut St E. On the eastern edge of the community, Sisseton Wahpeton College represents a significant center for higher education and tribal heritage. The surrounding landscape is characterized by the rolling terrain of the Coteau des Prairies, with the drainage of the Little Minnesota River carving through the eastern sections. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Sisseton City Cem, Saint Peter's Cem, and Goodwill Cem, while the natural depression of Long Hollow defines the western approach to the city via Indian Rte 8.
