2017 Map of Stockholm

About this map

Coteau des Prairies, the high glacial plateau of eastern South Dakota, defines the terrain of this Grant County survey. The landscape is dotted with numerous small wetlands and sloughs characteristic of the region's post-glacial topography, including Pyror Slough and the waters of Crooked Lake. Settlement is anchored by the small communities of Stockholm, Strandburg, and Troy, which are connected by a grid of agricultural section roads. For those tracing local heritage, the map is remarkably dense with religious and memorial sites, such as the Brown Earth Indian Church and its accompanying Brown Earth Indian Church Cem. These features, along with Tabor Lutheran Church and various family-named burial grounds like Troy Cem and Bethel Cem, provide a detailed record of the cultural and spiritual footprint in this rural farming district.
