1970 Map of Bemis

About this map

Bemis and the surrounding townships of Goodwin and Havana define this prairie landscape in Deuel County during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a settled agricultural region marked by a network of rural institutions, including the Bemis Ch and multiple community burial grounds such as Swedish Cem, Bemis Cem, and Evergreen Cem. A prominent Old Railroad Grade cuts through the terrain, tracing the path of former rail commerce that once linked these small Dakota outposts.
