About this map

Lake Andes dominates this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the focal point for the surrounding community of the same name. The area is characterized by a mix of established civic infrastructure and early-century remnants, including the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and railway line and an Old Railroad Grade further south. The map documents a transition in local transportation and entertainment, featuring the Lake Andes Airport and a Drive-in Theater near the town center.

Rural life is anchored by a network of numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 25 and School No 86, and religious sites like St Phillips Ch. The topography of the White Swan area and Garden Creek contrasts with the seasonal waters of Goose Lake to the north. Several burial grounds, including West Lake Andes Cem and Lake View Cem, offer valuable location data for genealogists studying Charles Mix County families.
