1971 Map of Bancroft West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bancroft and Osceola anchor this Kingsbury County landscape during the early 1970s, a period when the Burlington Northern railroad served as a primary artery through the eastern South Dakota plains. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Pearl Creek and its South Fork, which carve through the agricultural townships of Le Sueur, Iroquois, Banner, and Foster. Small-scale local features, such as a lone Cem and scattered Gravel Pits, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family land or rural infrastructure. The presence of Osceola Lake near the town of Osceola highlights the region's reliance on localized water resources for both the community and the surrounding farmsteads that fill the survey area.
