1979 Map of Laffey Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The rolling plains of Aurora County are defined here by a series of distinct township boundaries and drainage patterns as they appeared in the late 1970s. Laffey Lake sits in the eastern portion of the landscape, while the serpentine course of Platte Creek and its East Fork Platte Creek provide the primary water sources for this agricultural region. The map illustrates a rigid grid of property lines and field fences across the townships of Gales, Crystal Lake, Washington, and Center. These administrative divisions emphasize the systematic settlement of the Dakota territory. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through several scattered gravel pits, indicating the localized infrastructure needs of this rural community during the era.
