About this map

Chery Township Pioneer Cem serves as a silent landmark in this rural expanse of South Dakota, where the intersection of Jerauld, Hand, and Beadle counties forms a triple-border point. The landscape is defined by the high plains drainage patterns of Smith Cr and the waters of Long Lake, showing a region largely organized by the Public Land Survey System. The section lines are clearly marked by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including 220th St and 375th Ave. This layout illustrates the late-stage development of the northern plains, where transportation and land ownership remain strictly bound to the township and range survey grid established during the homesteading era.
