2021 Map of Volga

About this map

The city of Volga occupies a central position on this South Dakota landscape, situated upon the elevated glacial plateau of the Coteau des Prairies. This highland terrain defines the local geography, separating the basin of Lake Goldsmith to the northwest from the winding course of the Big Sioux River as it meanders along the eastern edge of the survey. The town's grid is characterized by named avenues such as Kasan Ave and Astrachan Ave, while the surrounding rural townships are dotted with several significant burial grounds including Hillside Cem, Trinity Cem, and First Lutheran Cem. Farther south, the isolated Bethania Cem and Kirby Cem provide important reference points for family historians. The presence of the Jay Heath Canoe & Kayak Trl along the river highlights the transition of the riparian corridor into a modern recreational resource.
