1968 Map of Forbes SE

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The prairie landscape of McPherson County is defined here by the townships of Weber, Wachter, Carl, and Willow. This 1968 field-checked survey reveals a sparsely settled agricultural region where the drainage of Willow Creek cuts through the glaciated terrain. Local community life is anchored by small landmarks such as the Townhall and the St Hyacinth Cem, which stands alongside another unmarked Cem. The map serves as a precise record of the section-line roads and rural infrastructure in this corner of South Dakota during the late 1960s, offering a clear view of land divisions and isolated homesteads before later changes in farming patterns. The detailed five-foot contour intervals highlight the subtle depressions and rises characteristic of this northern plains environment.
