1972 Map of Dell Rapids SE

About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of Moody and Minnehaha Counties is defined by the winding course of Pipestone Creek and its tributary, West Pipestone Creek. This 1970s survey captures a rural environment organized into townships including Logan, Alliance, and Highland, where the cultural footprint is marked by scattered religious and memorial sites. Significant local landmarks for genealogists and historians include the Reformed Church Cem and the Highland Ch Cem, which serve as anchors for the surrounding farming communities. Evidence of local industry is visible through multiple Gravel Pits located near the waterway, while a detailed network of section lines and fence markers, derived from 1969 aerial photography, illustrates the parceling of the South Dakota prairie.
