2021 Map of Wessington SW

About this map

The Hand Co Beadle Co border runs vertically through this prairie landscape, marking a transition in the agricultural grid of East Central South Dakota. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Sand Creek winding through the central and southern reaches of the quadrangle while Silver Creek touches the northern edge. At the heart of the rural township, the McNair Cemetery sits near the junction of 375th Ave and 213th St, serving as a silent record of the families who settled this open country. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road system, including routes like Co Rd 1 and Co Rd 20, which facilitate the region's vast farming operations. This survey reflects the enduring spatial layout of the Great Plains, where natural waterways like Sand Creek provide the only variation in an otherwise rectilinear human landscape.
