About this map

The Yankton Indian Reservation Boundary cuts diagonally across this landscape, dividing the agricultural townships of Chester and Moore. In the late 1970s, this portion of Douglas and Charles Mix counties was defined by a section-line grid of roads and scattered rural infrastructure. Evidence of former transportation networks remains visible through the Old Railroad Grade running north-south along the eastern edge. Local history is anchored by the German Reform Cem in Moore and School No 33 further east. The terrain is marked by significant conservation efforts, with multiple tracts designated as a National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance for prairie pothole habitat along Andes Creek.
