2017 Map of Swett

About this map

The small settlement of Swett sits at the intersection of Bennett Ave and Allen Rd in this southwestern South Dakota landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bear-in-the-Lodge Cr in the north and the Little White River clipping the southeastern corner. This survey documents the rural character of Bennett County, showing a sparse network of section-line roads like 292nd Ave and 2947h St that navigate the undulating topography. For genealogists, the Gamble Cem located in the southern portion of the quadrangle provides a specific point of historical record for local families. The map illustrates how local geography and drainage basins influenced the placement of these early crossroads and homesteads.
