1969 Map of Castlewood

About this map

Castlewood occupies the northeastern corner of this South Dakota landscape, positioned where the Chicago And North Western railroad parallels the winding path of the Big Sioux River. The area’s water management and recreation are central features, evidenced by the expansive Dry Lake in the south and the smaller Lake Florence nearby. The presence of the Boswell Diversion Ditch indicates the agricultural and hydraulic engineering necessary for the local topography.
