2017 Map of Vermillion SE

About this map

Junction City and the surrounding prairie of southeast South Dakota define this landscape along the Clay Co Union Co border. The map documents a highly structured grid of section lines and township roads, including Saginaw Rd and Fairview Ave, which connect several small, rural burial grounds essential for genealogical research. These include the Saint Peter Greenfield Cem in the northwest and Saint Mary Cem further east. Water features are relatively sparse, though the meandering course of Brule Cr and the drainage of Government Slough interrupt the geometric regularity of the farmland. Farther north, the small settlement of Midway sits at a crossroads, while the Ahlisborg Lutheran Cem serves as a landmark for the local community's historical roots in this agricultural region.
