1970 Map of Clayton NE

About this map

Wolf Creek carves a winding path through the southeastern corner of Hutchinson County, defining a landscape of deep drainage and expansive prairie. This 1970 survey captures the rural character of the region, where community life centered around local congregations like New Hutterthal Ch, Salem Ch, and Unity Ch. To the east, the large basin of Silver Lake stands out as a significant water body in an otherwise agricultural expanse. The map includes specific genealogical markers such as the Stern Cem, alongside indicators of local industry like a Gravel Pit. The terrain transition from the high ground of Pleasant and Grandview down toward the creek beds highlights the subtle but distinct topography of the eastern South Dakota plains during the late twentieth century.
