About this map

Redfield serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, positioned at the junction of the Chicago and North Western and the C M St P & P railroads. The town's industrial and transportation infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Redfield Airport and numerous gravel pits that hint at the region's extraction activities during the Missouri River Basin development era. The surrounding landscape in Spink County is dominated by the meandering path of Turtle Creek, which cuts through the townships of Redfield and Exline.

Water plays a central role in the southern terrain, where the expansive Twin Lakes and Mud Lake sit within Tulare township. These water bodies, along with Lake Redfield to the north, illustrate the prairie pothole geography characteristic of the region. The map provides a clear look at the rural section lines and local transit routes like the road to Crandon, essential for genealogists tracing family farmsteads and township boundaries.
