USGS Topo · Published 1939About this map
The James River carves a deep, winding path through the southeastern Dakota prairies, serving as the central topographical anchor for this late nineteenth-century landscape. This survey reveals a region in transition, where early prairie settlements like Olivet and Milltown are linked by an expanding rail network. The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul railroad tracks create distinct corridors of growth, supporting agricultural hubs such as Scotland, Menno, and Parkston.
