About this map

The Big Sioux River snakes through the heart of this Moody County landscape, its meanders defining the agricultural and institutional character of the early 1970s. The city of Flandreau serves as the focal point, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks bisect the town south of the river. A significant area is dedicated to the Flandreau Indian Sch, reflecting the community's long-standing educational history.

Surrounding the town, the land is marked by small drainage systems like Spring Creek and Flandreau Creek, which cut through the surveyed sections of Ward, Union, and Grovena. Cultural and civic landmarks are prominent, including the Catholic Cem, Union Cem, and the Flandreau Municipal Airport to the south. The presence of several Gravel Pits along the riverbanks points to local extractive industries supporting the region's infrastructure and road network.
