1974 Map of Hettinger South

About this map

The North Fork Grand River meanders across the southern portion of this mid-1970s survey, marking a distinct transition from the agricultural uplands of North Dakota into the northern stretches of South Dakota. The city of Hettinger anchors the northeast corner, where Mirror Lake and Flat Creek define the local hydrology. This boundary-focused map illustrates the intersection of Adams Co and Perkins Co, a landscape carved by numerous drainage systems including Billy Young Creek, Stick Creek, and Deer Creek. Local industry is evidenced by scattered Well sites and a Claypit, reflecting the region's reliance on subterranean resources and raw materials during this era. The rectangular township and range system remains the dominant organizational force, bisecting the natural flow of the Hook Creek valley.
