1973 Map of Bristol East

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad forms the primary corridor through this Day County landscape, connecting the small grain-belt settlements of Bristol and Holmquist. Further south, the town of Butler sits at the edge of a vast wetland basin, reflecting the characteristic prairie pothole topography of eastern South Dakota. The survey meticulously documents the intersection of agriculture and conservation, noting several Gravel Pits alongside protected lands such as the Holmquist Slough State Public Shooting Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area. Local history is preserved in the location of several rural burial grounds, including Prairie Mound Cem and Ebenezer Cem, while significant water bodies like Bitter Lake and Holmquist Slough dominate the low-lying terrain of Valley and Butler townships.
