2021 Map of Wewela

About this map

The Keya Paha River meanders across this Tripp County landscape, defining the topography of the southern South Dakota borderlands. Near the river's path, the small settlement of Wewela serves as a primary point of reference for the surrounding rural area. Significant local landmarks include Turtle Butte, a prominent geographic feature that stands out against the rolling prairie terrain. The map documents vital community sites for genealogical research, specifically the Congregational Cem and Hope Lutheran Cem. Water sources like Rahn Lake and Rimber Cr highlight the drainage patterns of the northern plains, while a grid of local roads, such as Co RD 6301 and Musilek Ave, connects the dispersed farmsteads of the region.
