1974 Map of Howe Creek

About this map

The Santee Indian Reservation encompasses this portion of Knox County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of Howe Creek. The landscape in the mid-1970s shows a rural environment with a small community presence centered near the Blessed Redeemer Ch. Drainage patterns are marked by Walker Draw and Hoboe Cr, with a specific Spring noted in the northeast, indicating the importance of local water sources in this upland terrain. Natural resource extraction is evident through several scattered Gravel Pit and Gravel Pits locations, which punctuate the sections. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road network and section lines as they existed before further modern development, preserving the placement of local landmarks and isolated industrial sites within the reservation boundaries.
