1968 Map of Forbes SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Wacker, Weber, and Hoffman names mark the land in this 1968 survey of McPherson County, reflecting a landscape defined by expansive drainage patterns and scattered depressions. This territory, situated in northern South Dakota, is characterized by a complex network of intermittent water bodies and prairie potholes that dictate the local topography. A single Gravel Pit serves as the lone indicator of industrial activity in an otherwise rural expanse, where section lines and range boundaries like R. 68 W. R. 67 W. provide the primary framework for land organization. The lack of concentrated settlements or community centers emphasizes a period of sparse, agricultural-based land use where topographical features and property lines were the defining characteristics of the region.
