1964 Map of Lake Andes NW

About this map

Geddes serves as a focal point in this portion of Charles Mix County, situated just north of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The landscape is defined by the significant transition from the plateau down to the Missouri River valley, where the creation of Lake Francis Case has reshaped the shoreline. The map documents the historic Old Fort Randall Military Road cutting across Jackson and White Swan townships, marking an era of frontier transit. Multiple recreation areas, including Pease Creek Recreation Area and Spring Creek Recreation Area, line the new reservoir. Cultural landmarks like St Anns Cem and Pleasant Lawn Cem provide vital touchpoints for genealogists, while the Yankton Indian Reservation Boundary illustrates the complex administrative history of the region during the mid-1960s.
