About this map

The small prairie hamlet of Norbeck sits at the heart of this South Dakota landscape, surveyed in the early 1950s as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The region is defined by its township structure, including Vermont, Liberty, Enterprise, and Freedom, where agricultural life is anchored by rural landmarks like the Orleans Sch and the community of Millard.

Transport and water dominate the terrain, notably the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad Grade cutting across the central sections. Local water bodies such as Hamak Lake and the aptly named Dry Lake provide distinct geographic markers. For those tracing family histories in Faulk County, the location of the Millard Cem and the Millard Sch offer precise coordinates for long-standing rural institutions during the mid-century era.
