1974 Map of Hoven

About this map

Hoven serves as the primary hub in this mid-1970s survey, situated along the county boundary separating Walworth Co and Potter Co. The town is characterized by its organized grid and proximity to several local utilities, including Sewage Disposal Ponds and a local Cem on its southern edge. The landscape is marked by the distinct path of an Old RR Grade and Old RR Gr, traces of a former rail line that once cut across the townships of Arena and Hoven. Outside the town center, the terrain is defined by a series of small, scattered Gravel Pits and local water management features like Simons Dam. These labels reflect the infrastructure of a rural South Dakota agricultural community maintaining its local economy through resource extraction and water storage in the township areas of Lucas and Carr.
