About this map

West Okoboji Lake defines the northern landscape of this survey, surrounded by established recreation and settlement areas like Wahpeton and Arnolds Park. The map documents a transition from the dense lakeside activity at Gull Point State Park to the agricultural expanses of Lake Ville and Milford townships. The city of Milford serves as a central hub, with the nearby Old Town and local landmarks like St Josephs Cem providing specific points of interest for genealogical research.

South and west of the lake, the Little Sioux River meanders through the terrain, creating the prominent Horseshoe Bend. This area includes the Horseshoe Bend County Recreation Area, highlighting the region's focus on land management and conservation. Evidence of former transportation networks is preserved through the Old Railroad Grade, which reflects the evolving infrastructure of Dickinson County during this mid-century period.
