1965 Map of Agar SW

About this map

Okobojo Creek winds through the southeastern corner of this Sully County landscape, carving a distinct valley into the otherwise uniform plains of central South Dakota. The mid-1960s terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and fence lines, reflecting the organized agricultural expansion of the Missouri River Basin project era. Two rural schoolhouses, Cass Sch and Hartford Sch, serve as the primary social and community nodes for the surrounding farmsteads, which are scattered across the high ground between the drainage draws. Near the creek, several Gravel Pits indicate localized extraction of glacial deposits, providing a rare industrial footprint in a territory primarily devoted to dryland farming and cattle ranching.
