1973 Map of Canova SE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Edgerton and the surrounding agricultural townships of Pearl, Benton, and Canova define this section of the southeastern South Dakota plains during the early 1970s. The landscape is structured by a grid of section lines and fence lines, with the winding paths of Rock Creek and Wolf Creek providing the primary breaks in the geometric terrain. Rural community life is anchored by local landmarks such as the Townhall in Pearl Township and several burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem and Hillside Cem. Land use patterns show a balance between production and conservation, with active Gravel Pits operating alongside protected spaces like the Spencer State Public Shooting Area and a Nat Waterfowl Production Area. This survey provides a precise look at the township-and-range settlement pattern, where every square mile is accounted for by field borders or family-named cemeteries.
