1973 Map of Carpenter

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Richland and the nearby Richland Cem stand at the heart of this agricultural landscape in eastern South Dakota, where the survey lines of Richland, Union, and FordHAM townships create a precise grid across the plains. The map records a sparsely populated region defined by small community hubs like Carpenter and the small settlement of Dennis to the southwest. Foster Creek meanders through the northwest corner, providing a natural break in the geometric section lines that dominate the territory. For those researching local history, the documentation of Union Cem and the Townhall site offers specific points of interest for tracing early township organization and family burial locations. The landscape here is one of wide-open prairie agriculture, where local roads and section corners are the primary markers of human presence in the early 1970s.
