1973 Map of Prairie Center School

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a diagonal line across this 1973 survey of central South Dakota, marking a significant historical division between Buffalo and Hand counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Elm Creek and a network of agricultural fence and field lines that characterize the Como and Mondamin townships. At the heart of this rural community stands the Prairie Center Sch, a vital local landmark for genealogists and regional historians. The map also documents industrial activity in the area through several Gravel Pits, illustrating the intersection of physical geography and human resource extraction in the Great Plains during the early 1970s.
