About this map

Witten serves as the primary settlement in this rural South Dakota landscape, situated at the junction of Main St and 1st St. The community is supported by the nearby Witten Dam Reservoir and is surrounded by a grid of numbered section roads such as 304th Ave and 273rd St. The terrain is defined by the wandering paths of Cottonwood Cr and its tributaries, including E Cottonwood Cr and W Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the plains.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate Saint John the Baptist Cem to the north of town, a key landmark for tracing area family histories. Further south, the map identifies Jordan Junction, a crossing point that links the local road network to broader regional routes. The layout of the small town of Witten reflects a classic prairie development pattern centered on a compact downtown core surrounded by agricultural land and riparian corridors.
