About this map

The Missouri River forms the southern boundary of this South Dakota landscape, where the South Dakota Nebraska state line follows the river's winding course. The area is defined by the legacy of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the terrain near Song Hawk Lake. This mid-century survey documents a rural landscape organized by a network of numbered school districts, including School No 80 and School No 61, reflecting the localized education system of the time. Local spiritual life is anchored by the Native American Ch near the center of the sheet.

Water and drainage are central to the geography here, with Slaughter Creek, Mosquito Creek, and Spring Creek carving through the prairie towards the river bottom. The river itself features the prominent Willow Bar, illustrating the shifting alluvial patterns of the Missouri before later modifications. To the north, White Lake sits at the edge of the Lawrence and Highland townships, providing a clear reference point for the upland topography.
