1978 Map of Oak Hollow

About this map

The Yankton Indian Reservation Boundary cuts diagonally across this prairie landscape where the borders of Hutchinson, Douglas, and Bon Homme counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Choteau Creek and its tributary, Dry Choteau Creek, which drain the undulating uplands near Oak Hollow. Settled agriculture is the primary feature of this late-1970s landscape, punctuated by local landmarks such as the Townhall in the north and a Sandpit further south. Conservation efforts are visible through the National Waterfowl Production Area established near the reservation line. Genealogists will find the locations of Oak Hollow Cem and Zion Cem particularly useful for tracing early family plots in Monroe township, while the abandoned railroad Grade in the northeast speaks to the area's changing transportation network.
