1972 Map of New Effington NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and marshy wetlands define this 1972 landscape along the North Dakota South Dakota border. The map documents the northern reaches of the Sisseton Indian Reservation Boundary, cutting across the townships of Elma, Green Dale, Minnesota, and Lien. This territory is characterized by numerous protected parcels of the National Waterfowl Production Area, interspersed with agricultural field lines and small-scale operations like the Gravel Pit near Big Slough. Genealogists will find notable value in the location of rural burial grounds, including Bohemian Cem and Thompson Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the region's ethnic settlement patterns. The topography is subtle, with the low-lying waters of Indian Slough and other unnamed ponds dominating the drainage patterns across the Richland Co Roberts Co line.
