About this map

Medicine Knoll Creek meanders through this section of Sully Co in the late 1960s, defining a prairie landscape dominated by agricultural sections and small water sources. The map reveals the vital importance of groundwater in this semi-arid region, noted by numerous wells, a spring, and Flowing Wells situated along the drainage basin. Community life is anchored by landmarks such as the Buffalo Sch and Pleasant Cem, which serve as primary reference points for local history and genealogy research in this rural township.

Terrain features like Medicine Knoll rise above the surrounding plains, overlooking Durstein Lake. Industrial activity is limited to scattered Gravel Pits, suggesting localized road maintenance or small-scale resource extraction during this era. The map was produced as part of a larger federal initiative for the development of the Missouri River Basin, capturing the exact fence lines and field boundaries of the period.
