About this map

The townships of Harrison, Spring, Ontario, and Fairview define the social and administrative landscape of this rural South Dakota quadrangle. At the time of this 1950s survey, the area maintained a network of small, localized educational hubs, including Palmer Sch, Hillview Sch, Center Sch No 1, and Kolda Sch. These one-room schoolhouses served the surrounding farmsteads across the prairie, reflecting a period before widespread school consolidation changed the rural character of Hand County. The terrain is marked by intermittent watercourses like Matter Creek and Shaefer Creek, while a Gravel Pit indicates local small-scale industry. Mapped as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, this sheet provides a high-resolution look at the precise layout of section lines and rural infrastructure during a peak era of mid-century agricultural land use.
