About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and scattered wetlands define this landscape in Sheridan and Wells Counties, where the Missouri Coteau's distinct topography is punctuated by Crystal Lake. The late 1970s terrain reveals a rural economy organized around civil townships like Boone, Fairview, Goodrich, and Bull Moose. A solitary Townhall stands centrally, reflecting the localized government structure of the era. Much of the northeast quadrant is dedicated to the National Waterfowl Production Area, highlighting the region's importance as a migratory bird habitat. The eponymous Pony Gulch cuts through the northern sections, while industrial activity is limited to a few resource extraction sites such as a Gravel Pit and Sandpit. This survey serves as a detailed record of the drainage patterns and township divisions before modern agricultural consolidation.
