2015 Map of Tabor NE

About this map

Lakeport and Utica serve as the primary anchors in this rural Yankton County landscape, where the land is organized by a strict grid of township lines and section roads. The geography is defined by a series of south-flowing waterways, including Beaver Cr, Marne Cr, and Charley Cr, which carve gentle drainage patterns into the agricultural plains. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with specific heritage sites, documenting several family and community burial grounds such as Polish Cem, Nikodym Cem, Nedved Cem, and Elm Grove Cem. This concentration of namesake cemeteries reflects the deep-rooted settlement patterns and ethnic enclaves that established the social fabric of southeastern South Dakota during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
