1968 Map of Arlington

About this map

Arlington serves as the primary hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern railroad and regional highways. The map illustrates a prairie environment defined by significant water bodies and marshlands, including the expansive Lake Whitewood and the nearby Tenneboe Slough. These natural features are interspersed with rural townships such as Denver and Spring Lake, where settlement patterns follow a strict section-line grid. Local heritage is rooted in small community centers like Hetland and several country churches and cemeteries. Genealogists may find interest in the locations of Nordland Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and Lake Whitewood Ch. The eastern edge of the quadrangle marks the boundary between Kingsbury and Brookings counties, while the southern portion reveals the National Wildlife Management Area near the shores of Lake Sinai.
