1949 Map of Mitchell Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Mitchell Lake and Lake Douglas dot the landscape of Hyde County, South Dakota, in this mid-century survey of the Missouri River Basin. The region is defined by its township grid, where scattered community institutions served the rural population of Illinois, Eden, and Douglas townships. Local education and faith were anchored at sites like South Illinois Sch, East Douglas Sch, and the Edwin Ch. The presence of the Pleasant View Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Washington and Lincoln areas. This 1949 topography, later photoinspected in 1975, preserves the exact locations of these vital prairie landmarks before modern consolidation changed the rural social structure.
