About this map

Benton and Sumner townships define the open agricultural character of this Spink County landscape during the early 1960s. Surveyed as part of a Missouri River Basin development program, the map details a grid of rural section lines interrupted only by the wandering course of Timber Creek in the south. The area is marked by a reliance on groundwater, indicated by several instances of Flowing Well scattered across the plains.

Social organization is centered around the local Townhall in Tetonka, providing a focal point for the surrounding farming community. The eastern edge of the survey shows small-scale industrial activity with scattered Gravel Pits, likely used for maintaining the network of unimproved and light-duty roads that connect the townships of Clifton and its neighbors. The topography is relatively level, with subtle elevation changes recorded by 5-foot contour intervals.
