1966 Map of Mahto NW

About this map

The state boundary between North Dakota and South Dakota cuts through this mid-1960s landscape, marking a divide across the high plains. Within Corson Co, the terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Bush Creek to the north and Blackfoot Creek further south. This area includes the Lincoln township, where a sparse network of roads and fence lines connects isolated homesteads and geographical points. Genealogists may find interest in the Hope Cem, a significant cultural landmark situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a transition between Sioux Co, North Dakota, and the South Dakota lands, captured just after field checks were completed in 1966.
