1968 Map of Alcester NE

About this map

Newton Hills State Park anchors this 1960s landscape, where the deeply carved ravines of the Highland and Settlers townships meet the winding course of the Big Sioux River. The map illustrates a rural landscape defined by township grids and scattered local institutions that served the mid-century farming community. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks follow the river's path along the border between South Dakota and Iowa, connecting the remote reaches of Lincoln and Sioux counties.
