1979 Map of Red Lake East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Red Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this 1970s landscape in Brule County, serving as a focal point for conservation and local recreation within the Red Lake State Public Shooting Area. The prairie terrain is structured by a grid of rural roads and section lines, with drainage provided by the meandering Nelson Creek and Reimer Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated agricultural region where social life centered on institutions like the Red Lake Sch and Ola Sch, alongside traditional religious sites such as the St Procopius Ch Cem and the Lutheran Cem. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits, while water management is highlighted by the presence of a Flowing Well and the southern Panzour Dam. This survey reflects the late-twentieth-century rural character of the South Dakota plains, preserving the locations of namesake schools and cemeteries essential for genealogical research.
