2015 Map of Wood South

About this map

Wood is located at the northern edge of this South Dakota landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding prairie. The area is characterized by the winding path of Butte Cr, which drains toward the north through a series of sections defined by the Public Land Survey System. Genealogical interest is centered on the town's outskirts, where Evergreen Cem and Mediator Cem are established, providing a record of early residents in this part of Mellette County. To the southeast, the terrain rises to Rattlesnake Butte, a prominent landmark that breaks the steady elevation of the plains. The map illustrates a rural network of section-line roads, including 283rd Ave and 274th St, and marks the administrative transition at the boundary of Mellette Co and Todd Co.
