1978 Map of Haucks Lake

About this map

Emanuel Creek and its tributary Little Emanuel Creek carve a network of drainages through this section of Bon Homme County in the late 1970s. The landscape is primarily defined by a geometric grid of rural roads and land sections, punctuated by vital community institutions like Danzig Ch Cem and Immanuel Cem. The presence of Dewald Sch and Hoff Sch suggests the persistence of localized rural school districts that once anchored these prairie townships. Near the center of the map, Haucks Lake provides a notable water feature amidst the agrarian expanse. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through scattered Gravel Pits, while a lone Substation in the southeast corner points to the infrastructure supporting the surrounding farmsteads. This survey documents the quiet, enduring character of South Dakota's rural heartland during a period of steady agricultural tradition.
