2021 Map of Swett

About this map

Swett serves as the central point of reference in this Bennett County landscape, situated at the junction of Bennett Ave and Allen Rd. This Western South Dakota prairie is defined by the drainage patterns of the Little White River, which cuts through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, and Bear-in-the-Lodge Cr to the northeast. A notable site for local history and genealogical research is the Gamble Cem, located on a rise overlooking the river valley. The map documents the section-line road network typical of the Great Plains, including 292nd Ave and 294th St, illustrating the enduring spatial organization of rural landholdings and transportation routes in this part of the state during the early twenty-first century.
