1973 Map of Henry

About this map

The town of Henry serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated along the tracks of the Chicago and North Western railroad near the southern edge of the quadrangle. This prairie region in Codington and Clark counties is defined by its extensive wetland management, featuring numerous conservation sites such as the National Waterfowl Production Area and the Long Lake State Public Shooting Area. These areas surround significant water bodies like Long Lake, Stink Lake, and the marshy Blythe Slough. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks including Graceland Ch and its accompanying Graceland Ch Cem in the northwest, alongside smaller named localities like Lorinda and Boyd. The map illustrates a transitional period of agricultural land use and dedicated wildlife preservation, with scattered Gravel Pits and a central Townhall marking the community structure.
