About this map

Havana, Hidewood, and Brandt define the rural character of Deuel County as it appeared in the early 1970s. This agricultural landscape is drained by Hidewood Creek and punctuated by local community landmarks, including the Townhall and the Oakwood Sch near the northern boundary. The terrain is marked by fine red dashed lines indicating fence and field lines that were visible from 1966 aerial photography, offering a detailed perspective on 20th-century land use and property divisions.

Local history and genealogy researchers can find several burial sites such as Tabor Cem and Rose Cem, alongside signs of local infrastructure like the Radio Tower and Gravel Pits. To the south, Bullhead Lake sits within Grange township, while a notable Proposed Location for a new roadway cuts a diagonal path across the sectional grid, signaling a period of planned modernization for this corner of South Dakota.
