1974 Map of Hoven Muni. Airport

About this map

Swan Lake State Public Shooting Area dominates the central landscape of this Walworth County survey, encompassing the marshy edges and open water of Swan Lake. The terrain reflects a mix of conservation and rural development in the mid-1970s, where an Old Railroad Grade cuts through the south, marking a vanished transport corridor that once connected these plains. Local community life and infrastructure are represented by the Hoven Municipal Airport and the nearby Hoven Country Club. Genealogists and local historians will find the Theodore Cem in the northeastern section, a small but significant landmark for tracing family roots in this corner of South Dakota. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the Creek suggests the active extraction of local resources during this era.
