2011 Map of Zeeland

About this map

Zeeland anchors the northern portion of this prairie landscape, where the grid of McIntosh County meets the South Dakota border. This 2011 survey captures the agricultural heart of the region, defined by the winding course of Spring Creek as it flows near the southern settlement of Artas. The area is characterized by its rural isolation and a strong sense of community heritage, evidenced by the multiple denominational and local burial grounds scattered across the townships. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Reformed Cemetery, Zion Cemetery, and Saint Andrew Cemetery in the vicinity of Zeeland, while the Artas Cemetery serves the southern end of the quadrangle. The connection between these two towns is maintained via Artas Rd, reflecting a transportation network designed around the needs of a sparse, farming population in the early 21st century.
