About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices across this landscape in Buffalo County, reflecting the historical division of lands in South Dakota. Small communities like Anderson and Gann are documented here in the early 1970s, providing a look at the rural settlement pattern during a period when these prairie outposts were essential local hubs. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Crow Creek, Elm Creek, and Dry Run, which carve through the townships of Eden and Elvira. Pockets of local industry are visible through a Gravel Pit, while the section lines and farmstead locations offer researchers a precise view of mid-century land use and property boundaries.
