1970 Map of Clear Lake South

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Old Folks Home and several community cemeteries anchor this 1970 snapshot of Deuel County, centered on the southern edge of Clear Lake. This agricultural landscape is defined by the legacy of early prairie settlements and the remnants of transportation networks that once connected them, most notably the Old Railroad Grade running along the eastern boundary. The presence of the National Wildlife Management Area on the eastern shore of the lake suggests a localized focus on conservation amidst the surrounding townships of Brandt, Norde, and Scandinavia. The hydrology of the region is traced through the meandering path of Hidewood Creek and Bullhead Run, while family history researchers may find value in the specific locations of Lake View Cem and Highland Cem. This map illustrates the transition of the South Dakota prairie into a structured network of farms and townships.
