1981 Map of Pelican Lake SE

About this map

Prophets Mountains dominate the southwestern quadrant of this Sheridan County landscape, characterized by the irregular glacial topography of the Missouri Coteau. This 1981 survey reveals a territory defined by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands scattered between rolling elevations, including the area of Holmes and the fringes of Pickard and Mcclusky. Human activity is marked by a section-line road grid and industrial features like a Gravel Pit in the central portion of the sheet. Evidence of early settlement persists in the form of a small rural Cem located near the eastern boundary, providing a point of interest for those researching local family history or the development of this prairie region before late-twentieth-century changes.
