1978 Map of Bald Hills

About this map

The Bald Hills dominate the southwestern landscape of this prairie region, where the borders of Potter, Faulk, and Hyde counties meet. This late-1970s survey illustrates a rural township structure defined by the civil boundaries of Canton, Pleasant View, and Ellisville. The map captures a moment when the vast agricultural tracts of central South Dakota remained largely open, punctuated only by occasional homesteads and local landmarks like the Pleasant View Sch. The intricate contour lines around the Bald Hills reveal a landscape of subtle glacial depressions and high points, typical of the Missouri Coteau region, providing a clear view of the area's natural drainage and terrain before significant modern development altered the rural school and township network.
