About this map

The eastern slopes of the Wessington Hills define the character of this rural Hand County landscape, where the prairie begins its descent toward the James River Valley. Unlike the flat plains found elsewhere in the region, this area is marked by numerous small wetlands and depressions that collect seasonal water. Sand Cr winds through the central portion of the map, draining the elevation change near Rose Hill Lake. This small body of water serves as a focal point for the surrounding section lines, which are formally laid out in the Public Land Survey System. Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Rosehill Cem along Co Rd 31, providing a specific point of reference for the families who settled this portion of Township 110 North.
