1973 Map of Cottonwood Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The rolling prairies of the Hand Co Jerauld Co border country are defined by a network of seasonal wetlands and glacial lakes, including Spring Lake and Cottonwood Lake. This 1973 survey shows a sparse agricultural landscape where social life and essential services are marked by isolated landmarks like the Townhall and a Radio Tower. Local history is anchored by the New Zion Cem located centrally near the county line, providing a point of reference for family researchers in this rural district. The southeastern corner of the map is dominated by the National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the importance of conservation and natural resource management in the South Dakota plains. The map also includes the townships of Marlar and Harmony, indicating the formal land divisions that shaped early settlement patterns.
