2017 Map of Veblen

About this map

Veblen serves as the primary hub in this Marshall County landscape, where the flat plains give way to the glacial upland known as the Coteau des Prairies. This geographic transition is marked by a high density of wetlands and lakes, including Abraham Lake, Hill Lake, and Dumarce Lake, which collect across the undulating prairie. The drainage system is defined by the Little Minnesota River and tributaries like LaFrambois Cr, carving subtle valleys through the township. For family historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed regarding local interment sites, documenting several rural locations such as Saint Luke's Episcopal Cem, Saint Matthew's Church Cem, and Zion Cem. The grid of section lines and county roads, including Co HWY 6 and Co HWY 8, illustrates the enduring structure of South Dakota's agricultural land division.
