About this map

The settlement of Lakota serves as the central hub of this Nelson County landscape, situated at the intersection of the Burlington Northern railroad and a major east-west highway corridor. This 1970 snapshot of the High Plains environment illustrates a mix of municipal infrastructure and the surrounding agricultural townships of Clara, Enterprise, and Rubin. To the west of the town center, a Cem and Radio Tower mark the transition toward more open acreage, while the Trailer Park and Lakota Municipal Airport suggest the town's mid-century expansion.

Water management is a visible priority on the map, with multiple labels for the City Well, Waterworks, and Sewage Disposal system. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and the larger McHugh Slough in the northeast. Natural resources are utilized through several Gravel Pits scattered across the township boundaries, indicating local industry supporting the region's development during this era.
