1968 Map of Hancock SW

About this map

The Pomme De Terre River winds through this 1968 landscape, marking the transition between the agricultural uplands of Swift County and the conserved wetlands of the Ehrenberg State Wildlife Management Area. In the south, the village of Holloway serves as a local hub along the Great Northern rail line, accompanied by industrial infrastructure like Sewage Disposal Ponds. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural burial grounds and places of worship that anchored the early farming community, including Trinity Ch Cem, Evangelical Cem, and St Johns Ch. Small-scale resource extraction is evident in the scattered Gravel Pit locations, while the settlement of Graves and the National Wildlife Management Area further define the land use patterns of the late 1960s.
