2012 Map of Tolstoy

About this map

Potter County’s agricultural landscape is defined by a rigid section-line road grid in this 2012 survey of the Tolstoy area. The town itself is compactly situated at the junction of 1st Ave and Dufloth St, providing a clear view of the community's mid-20th-century residential footprint and small-town street plan. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies several denominational burial grounds scattered across the prairie, including the Seventh-Day Adventist Cem to the north and the Lutheran Cem to the west. Farther east, the Saint Jacobs Cem and Zion Cem further document the religious and ethnic settlement patterns of this South Dakota region. The terrain is marked by intermittent water bodies and a sparse road network extending along names like Sherman Ave and various numbered streets, illustrating the vast open spaces characteristic of the Great Plains.
