2017 Map of Wilmot

About this map

Wilmot serves as the primary hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, where the grid of rural township roads meets the winding path of the N Fork Whetstone River. The area's community roots are preserved in the proximity of several local burial grounds, including the Wilmot Cem, the Saint Mary's Catholic Cem, and the Garfield Lutheran Cem to the southeast. These sites, often positioned near family farmsteads and old school districts, offer essential data for genealogical research in Roberts County. The terrain is defined by its glacial hydrology, with the large expanse of Bullhead Lake and the drainage of Hartford Beach Cr leading toward the shores of Big Stone Lake at the northeastern corner. This detailed survey provides a contemporary view of the region's agricultural layout, established sections, and the enduring small-town street plan centered around Main St and Charles St.
