1978 Map of Plainview Colony SW

About this map

The borderlands of Mc Pherson Co and Edmunds Co characterize this prairie landscape as it appeared in the late 1970s. The area is defined by its townships, including North Bryant, Adrian, and Huntley, reflecting the rural administrative structure typical of the region. This is a landscape shaped by glacial activity, dotted with numerous small lakes and wetlands that punctuate the agricultural sections. Human industry is represented primarily by small-scale resource extraction, with several Gravel Pits and isolated Gravel Pits scattered across the map, often located near the winding sections of local roads. The survey also notes fine red dashed lines indicating selected fence and field lines, offering a precise look at late-twentieth-century land management and ownership patterns in this part of South Dakota.
