1973 Map of Florence
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The settlement of Florence serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, situated along the Chicago and North Western railroad line. The landscape is defined by the prairie potholes and shallow basins characteristic of northeastern South Dakota, including the sprawling Grass Lake, Lake Nicholson, and Dry Lake 9. Significant portions of the terrain are dedicated to conservation and recreation, evidenced by the National Waterfowl Production Area and the American Game Association State Public Shooting Area. Genealogy researchers will find value in the presence of local landmarks such as Dexter Cem and Helger Cem, along with a community Townhall located near the eastern edge of Dexter township. The map also captures local infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Pond and scattered Gravel Pit locations, reflecting the rural utility of the area during this era.
