From Tyndall to the back roads
From Tyndall, the seat of the county, the map spreads out to Avon, Scotland, Springfield, and Tabor. Smaller places such as Bon Homme Colony, Running Water, and Kingsburg appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Bon Homme County had an estimated 7,065 people in 2023 (Census Bureau), spread across about 564 square miles. Outside Avon, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts.
How the survey grid is numbered
On a grid map of Bon Homme County, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a survey township, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Quarter-quarter descriptions in Bon Homme County read backward: the final quarter listed is the largest piece. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Avon may not be exactly 640 acres.
Township records near Tyndall
Older deeds near Tyndall may name a township differently than today's Bon Homme County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Bon Homme County don't always follow township lines near Springfield, so check each one separately.
