1958 Map of Langford SW

About this map

Farmington and Riverside townships define this mid-century prairie landscape, captured during a period of agricultural stability in the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is marked by the winding course of Antelope Creek and a network of section-line roads that organize the rural landscape. This survey, completed as part of a larger Department of the Interior program, provides a high-resolution view of the area's civil structure, including the local Town Hall and the Augustana Cem. Small depressions and wetland features are scattered throughout the townships of Claremont and Groton, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of Day County before modern land alterations. The intersection of Marshall, Brown, and Day counties creates a unique tri-county corner on this map, documenting the precise political boundaries of the 1950s.
