2012 Map of Wentworth

About this map

Brant Lake and the surrounding prairie wetlands dominate this South Dakota landscape, where agricultural section lines define the movement of water and people. The map illustrates a region anchored by the small community of Wentworth in the north and Chester to the south, both characterized by their organized grid of streets such as S Main Ave and S Centennial Ave. The drainage patterns of Skunk Cr, Bachelor Cr, and Buffalo Cr create a complex network of creeks that feed into significant water bodies like Lake Madison and Buffalo Slough. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of Rose Hill Cem, Prospect Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem provides critical points for tracing family histories within these rural townships. The map also records localized lakeside developments, including Smiths Park, reflecting the era's residential patterns along the shores of Round Lake.
