1958 Map of Andover SW

About this map

The prairie landscape of Andover and Scotland townships is defined by a sparse network of country schoolhouses and natural drainage basins. In the late 1950s, the rural character of this region is anchored by social and educational hubs such as School No 216, School No 217, and School No 219, which served the farming families of both Day and Brown counties. The topography is marked by significant water features including Amsden Lake and Pigors Lake, which, along with the meandering path of Mud Creek, dictate the movement and settlement patterns across the plains. Local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pits, while the Scotland Cem remains a primary point of interest for those tracing family lineages in this part of South Dakota.
