1971 Map of Peever NE

About this map

Lake Traverse dominates the eastern boundary of this 1970s landscape, marking the border between Roberts and Traverse counties. The map captures a quiet agricultural and natural region characterized by its glacial water features, including the prominent Lake Bdesaka and the sprawling Cottonwood Slough protected within a State Wildlife Management Area. Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the rural townships of Hart, Bryant, and Folsom, where researchers can find Trinity Church, a local Townhall, and several small burial sites labeled simply as Cem and Graves. The terrain is shaped by the descent toward the Minnesota River in the south, with several Gravel Pits and public access points indicating a landscape managed for both utility and recreation. The boundary of the Sisseton Indian Reservation is also clearly delineated, crossing the waters of Lake Traverse near Jensen Island.
