About this map

Pipestone Creek winds through the agricultural landscape of the upper Midwest in the late 1960s, cutting across the border shared by South Dakota and Minnesota. This survey captures a rural landscape defined by township organization and localized community hubs, including the Lone Rock settlement area. The map reveals the placement of essential local institutions such as Lone Rock Ch, Salem Ch, and the Eden Cem, which served the surrounding farming families.

A notable modern landmark of the era is the Radio Tower (KSOO-TV), indicating the reach of regional broadcasting into this borderland. The terrain is marked by township designations like Sweet, Alliance, and Eden, punctuated by several Gravel Pits and a Townhall. The presence of Great Rock Spirit Creek in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle further distinguishes the local hydrology in Moody and Pipestone Counties.
