1968 Map of Frederick SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Elm Lake and the meandering Elm River define the terrain of this north-central South Dakota landscape during the late 1960s. The map captures a largely agricultural region organized into named districts such as Wachter, Palmyra, and Carl. The river's winding course is the primary geological feature, controlled in part by the Spillway Elev 1458 at the lake's southern edge. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by isolated structures and a centrally located Townhall within Palmyra. Evidence of local industry is limited to a single Gravel Pit near the river's bend. This survey is particularly notable for its inclusion of fine red dashed lines that indicate specific fence and field lines visible from 1965 aerial photography, offering genealogists and land historians a precise view of mid-century property boundaries across Allison, Willow, and Franklyn.
