2017 Map of Toronto

About this map

The town of Toronto serves as a focal point in this eastern South Dakota landscape, situated along the northern edge of the Deuel Co Brookings Co line. This region, characterized by the prominent landform of the Coteau des Prairies, is defined by its agricultural grid and a series of rural cemeteries that mark the history of its local settlements. The map identifies several of these important genealogical sites, including the Toronto Cem, Blom Prairie Cem, Mikkelson Cem, and Leganger Cem, scattered across the townships. Waterways such as Peg Munky Run and N Deer Cr carve through the prairie, feeding into larger systems like Cobb Cr and Sixmile Cr. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring rural character of the area where S Dakota Highway 15 and S Dakota Highway 28 intersect.
