2015 Map of Yale

About this map

Yale anchors this rural Beadle County landscape, situated along the western edge of the quadrangle. The town sits at the intersection of local routes including 411th Ave and 203rd St, serving as a centralized point for the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage of Pearl Creek and Middle Pearl Creek, which meander southward through a grid of section lines and county roads. Evidence of long-standing local heritage is preserved at Trinity Cem in the north and Dixon Cem to the southeast, providing valuable reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing families in the James River valley region. The layout reflects a deeply established township and range system, with infrastructure following rigid section boundaries typical of the South Dakota prairie.
