2012 Map of Waubay

About this map

Waubay anchors this South Dakota landscape, situated on a narrow strip of land between significant glacial water bodies. The town's grid is defined by historical corridors like Railway Ave and N Main St, reflecting its development as a transportation and service hub in Day County. The surrounding terrain is dominated by an extensive lake system, where the sprawling reaches of Bitter Lake extend to the south, while Blue Dog Lake and Rush Lake frame the town to the north. These waters, along with Little Rush Lake and Headman Slough, illustrate the complex hydrology of the prairie pothole region. Genealogists can identify local burial sites at Old Zion Cem and Lakewood Cem, which are located just west of the town center near Cemetery Rd.
