1971 Map of Big Stone Lake SE

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across the southwestern corner of this 1971 landscape, marking a historical line of demarcation in eastern South Dakota. This map captures the varied terrain of Grant Co and Roberts Co at the edge of Big Stone Lake. Notable landmarks include Camp Tepeetonka and several islands such as Goose Island and Manhattan Island. The region is defined by the convergence of the North Fork and South Fork Whetstone River, which feed into the primary lake basin. Extensive conservation efforts are visible through the National Waterfowl Production Area and the State Wildlife Management Area. Transport infrastructure is anchored by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad, which follows an Old Grade through the river valley near a local Roadside Park.
