2017 Map of Worthing

About this map

Worthing anchors the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape in Lincoln County, South Dakota. The surrounding terrain is defined by a systematic network of section roads and drainage projects like Ditch Number 14 and Ditch Number Eight, reflecting the intensive land management required for prairie farming. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies several distinct burial grounds across the township, including Saint Edwards Cem, Mount Olivet Cem, and the West Prairie Lutheran Cem. Small water bodies such as Lake Albert and wandering streams like Beaver Cr and Snake Cr break up the rigid grid of the sections, marking the natural hydrology of the Great Plains before it gives way to the more developed corridors near Worthing.
