1968 Map of Badger
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Glacial lakes and a dual-rail transport network define this portion of eastern South Dakota during the late 1960s. The Great Northern railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, serving the community of Badger, while the Chicago And North Western line runs east-to-west through Hetland to the south. The terrain is marked by prominent water bodies like Lake Badger and Lake Thisted, with several small cemeteries, including Nielsen Cem and United Cem, scattered across the agricultural sections of Badger and Denver townships. This survey provides a precise record of rural life before further modern consolidation, showing a mix of infrastructure ranging from a Landing Field near Badger to the Arlington Municipal Airport on the eastern boundary. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits and Spring 3 suggests the localized importance of natural resources to the area's development.
