1973 Map of LaBolt

About this map

La Bolt serves as the central hub of this eastern South Dakota landscape, where the Burlington Northern line and an Old Railroad Grade converge near the town center. The settlement is defined by local civic landmarks like the Townhall and La Bolt Lake, with its nearby Gravel Pit Park. To the west, the smaller community of Strand sits amidst a grid of agricultural sections divided between Madison and Georgia townships. The topography is shaped by the South Fork Yellow Bank River, which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle toward the Mud Lake State Public Shooting Area. Genealogists and local historians can locate burial sites at Bethel Cem in the northwest and La Bolt Cem just east of the village, providing clear points of reference for tracing family roots in this rural prairie region during the early 1970s.
