2017 Map of Yale

About this map

Yale anchors this agricultural landscape in Beadle County, where the street grid of the town site—including Main St, 2nd St, and 3rd St—stands in contrast to the surrounding section lines. The rural character of the area is defined by its watercourses and small community landmarks, most notably the Pearl Cr and its tributary Middle Pearl Cr, which wind through the township. For those researching family history in this part of South Dakota, the map identifies two distinct burial grounds: Trinity Cem located north of town near 413th Ave and Dixon Cem to the southeast. The rigid survey grid is maintained by a network of local roads such as Co Rd 31 and numerous numbered avenues, which provide access to the dispersed farmsteads characteristic of the Great Plains.
