1962 Map of Garretson West

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Garretson and its surrounding rural townships in Minnehaha County are captured here at a moment of transition during the 1960s and 1970s. The town's grid is anchored by the Great Northern railroad line, which runs parallel to the winding course of Split Rock Creek. To the north, the Eros Data Center represents a significant technological installation amidst the agricultural landscape. The map provides a detailed view of the civic and spiritual foundations of the area, featuring landmarks like the Split Rock Ch, White Willow Sch, and Fairview Sch. These local institutions, along with the Summit Hill Cem, trace the community's genealogy across Edison, Brandon, and Red Rock townships. The natural geography is defined by the drainage patterns of West Pipestone Creek and the designated Palisades Recreational Area, highlighting the balance between rural industry and conservation.
