1958 Map of Marlow

About this map

Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern landscape of this 1950s survey, where the glacial plains of the Dakotas transition into significant wetlands like Clouds Lake and White Lake. This area, mapped for the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, captures the intersection of several distinct jurisdictions. The Sisseton Indian Reservation Boundary cuts diagonally across the western portion of the sheet, while the state line divides Sargent Co, North Dakota from Marshall Co, South Dakota. Rural life is anchored by small landmarks such as Emmanuel Ch and the local School No 1. The southern terrain is defined by the winding course of La Belle Creek as it moves through the region of La Belle. This map provides a detailed view of the high plains before extensive modern development, preserving the locations of a few isolated Gravel Pits and the small settlement of Marlow.
