About this map

Salt Lake sits at the center of this prairie landscape, straddling the border between South Dakota and Minnesota during the late 1960s. The region is defined by its watercourses, including Lost Creek, Timber Creek, and Crow Creek, which drain toward the West Branch Lac qui Parle River. Human settlement is sparsely distributed across township sections in Glenwood, Manfred, and Mehurin, anchored by community landmarks such as Zoar Ch and Antelope Valley Ch.

The presence of the Antelope Valley Cem and a remote Townhall suggests a established rural network of families and local governance. Conservation efforts are evident in the Dacotah State Wildlife Management Area, preserving the natural state of the Antelope Valley. The map details a transition from the marshy edges of Bolland Slough to the higher ground marked by scattered gravel pits, reflecting the glacial geology of the Deuel County and Lac qui Parle County line.
