About this map

Woonsocket serves as the central hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, where a precise grid of section roads meets a sophisticated network of drainage infrastructure. The presence of County Ditch Number 8, County Ditch Number 16, and County Ditch Number 21 reflects the intensive management of the prairie hydrology, redirecting surface water across the flat terrain of Sanborn County.

Genealogists will find notable burial grounds including Saint Wilfrid Cem and Eventide Cem situated near the town center, while the more remote Feistner Cem lies to the southwest. The map documents the persistent agricultural character of the region, from the Lynch Ranch in the northeast to the seasonal watercourse of Dry Run and the waters of McCoy Lake, providing a clear record of land use and settlement patterns in the early 21st century.
