About this map

The Bois De Sioux River defines the tri-state intersection of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, anchoring a landscape where agricultural townships like Fairmount, Taylor, and Monson meet. This 1972 survey captures the small settlements of White Rock and Boisberg situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line, which served as a vital transit corridor for the region's grain and livestock economy.

Conservation and recreation are prominent in the southern portion of the map, dominated by the Upper Lake Traverse State Wildlife Management Area. This area includes a network of water bodies such as White Rock Lake, Clubhouse Lake, and Round Lake. The presence of the Sisseton Indian Reservation Boundary and local landmarks like Lake View Cem and Blackmer provide essential geographic markers for genealogists tracing family roots near the state borders.
