2012 Map of Tripp

About this map

Tripp serves as the primary hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, where a dense cluster of burial sites reveals the deep immigrant and religious heritage of the prairie. Within a small radius south of town, researchers can locate Friedens Cem, Holy Rosary Cem, and Grace Hill Cem, each a vital record of early settler families. The surrounding rural townships are defined by a grid of section-line roads, such as N Main and 411th Ave, which cross the meandering paths of Emanuel Cr and Dawson Cr. Farther afield, the presence of Hoffnungstal Cem and the Saints Cyril and Methodius Cem along Vodnany Church Rd reflects the varied ethnic enclaves that established these farming communities. This survey provides a clear view of the agricultural drainage pattern, with Snatch Cr and S Br Lonetree Cr cutting through the high plains topography.
