1970 Map of Enemy Swim Lake West

About this map

Waubay National Wildlife Refuge dominates the central portion of this 1970 landscape, encompassing a complex network of glacial wetlands including Hillebrands Lake, Swan Pond, and Spring Lake. The region is characterized by these extensive bodies of water and the smaller Dahling Slough and Campbell Slough, which illustrate the post-glacial topography of the Sisseton Indian Reservation. Local history is anchored by the St Joseph Ch and its accompanying St Joseph Ch Cem near the State Fish Hatchery on the shores of Pickerel Lake. A notable cultural landmark, Blue Dog (Grave), is situated near Enemy Swim Lake, while an Indian Mound and a Lookout Tower mark the higher ground of the prairie. The map also traces the administrative fabric of the era, from the local Townhall to the township boundaries of Kosciusko and Grenville.
