1962 Map of Colton SE

About this map

Skunk Creek and its tributary, Willow Creek, define the drainage of this agricultural landscape along the border of Moody and Minnehaha counties during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a rural society organized by townships, including Lynn, Enterprise, Burk, and Sverdrup, where the pattern of section-line roads and scattered farmsteads remains the dominant footprint. A notable feature of the local transport history is the Old Railroad Grade in the southwestern corner, reflecting a period of rail expansion that had already transitioned to other uses by this time.
