1964 Map of Lake Andes

About this map

Lake Andes and the surrounding prairie of White Swan township define this mid-century Missouri River Basin landscape. The town of Lake Andes serves as the central hub, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad and featuring a concentration of local infrastructure including the Lake Andes Airport and a nearby Drive-in Theater. The map captures a transition in local education and community life, documenting multiple rural schoolhouses like School No 21 and School No 25 scattered across the township lines of T. 97 N. and T. 96 N.. Natural hydrology is dominated by the large basin of Goose Lake to the north and the meandering Garden Creek. Smaller landmarks such as St Phillips Ch and the West Lake Andes Cem provide specific points of interest for those researching the social fabric of Charles Mix County during this era.
