About this map

Big Sioux River meanders across this rural landscape at the boundary of Brookings and Moody counties during the mid-1960s. The region is defined by its agrarian character, shown through a network of section roads and small localized landmarks that served the surrounding farmsteads. Education and community life are anchored by several schoolhouses, including Wellman Sch, Riverview Sch, and Coleman Sch, which are dispersed across the townships of Trenton, Parnell, and Riverview.

The terrain is further marked by the confluence of Medary Creek and the river, where a Gaging Station monitors the water flow. The presence of Riverview Cem and scattered Gravel Pits reflects the local infrastructure and the practical needs of these prairie townships. This survey provides a precise view of the South Dakota countryside before significant changes in modern land use, capturing the exact placement of these now-rare country school locations.
