About this map

Peever stands as the primary settlement in this 1971 Roberts County survey, situated along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The landscape is defined by the high concentration of managed wetlands and prairies characteristic of the prairie pothole region, including the large Peeper Slough State Wildlife Management Area and various National Waterfowl Production Areas. These water bodies and marshlands are part of a complex hydrologic network feeding into the Little Minnesota River and Jorgenson River.

The eastern portion of the map is delineated by the Sisseton Indian Reservation Boundary, reflecting the region's complex jurisdictional history. Local landmarks such as the Peever Cem, the central Water Tank, and small clusters of Gravel Pits indicate the practical foundations of this rural community during the early 1970s. The presence of several smaller creeks like Goodwill Creek and Hines Creek further illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Coteau des Prairies.
