1952 Map of Faulkton East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Faulkton serves as the primary hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, which was mapped in detail by the Geological Survey during the mid-century. The township divisions of Pulaski, Myron, Tamworth, and Lafoon organize the prairie terrain, where the meandering South Fork Snake Creek provides the principal natural drainage. This era shows a community infrastructure defined by distributed rural education, with the Melius Sch, Reed Sch, and Lafoon Sch positioned to serve the surrounding farmsteads. Transportation patterns on the sheet reveal a mix of modern and legacy infrastructure, including the Municipal Airport near a local Water Tank and the clear remains of an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern sections. Genealogists may find particular value in the documentation of the Faulkton Cem and the various Gravel Pits that suggest local mineral extraction industries of the time.
