1971 Map of Howard NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The West Fork Vermillion River meanders through this portion of the eastern South Dakota plains, defining the agricultural landscape of Mathews and Grafton townships. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a rural environment characterized by intensive land management, with numerous National Wildlife Management Areas interspersed among section-line roads and farmsteads. The Cloverleaf Colony stands as a notable communal settlement in the central part of the quadrangle, representing the distinct social and cultural fabric of the region during this era. Industrial activity is visible in the form of several Gravel Pits, while the borders of Carthage and the boundary between Kingsbury and Miner counties provide essential markers for local history and property research. The topography is meticulously detailed, showing the subtle drainage patterns that feed into the Vermillion River system.
