1982 Map of Kimball North

About this map

The town of Kimball and its northern surroundings are detailed in this early 1980s topographic study, illustrating the agricultural and conservation character of Brule and Aurora counties. The landscape is defined by a series of townships including Lyon, Polummer, Patten, and Waldro, characterized by a grid of rural roads and scattered farmsteads. Significant land is dedicated to conservation, notably the National Waterfowl Production Area and the Humphries Slough State Game Production Area, which protect the wetland habitats surrounding Willow Lake and White Lake. Infrastructure like the Municipal Airport near the town center and scattered Gravel Pits indicate the local economy, while Sobek Lake and Wilson Dam provide localized water management in this prairie environment.
