About this map

Glacial potholes and small prairie lakes dominate this landscape in north-central South Dakota, as seen in the early 1950s. The area is divided by the border of Faulk Co and Hyde Co, showing a rural settlement pattern defined by townships like Ellisville, Latham, Seneca, and Union. This survey illustrates the importance of local education in the mid-century agrarian economy, specifically marking the East Ellisville Sch and School No 13 along the sectional road grid. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the southeastern corner suggests a shift in the local transportation network, where a former rail line had already been decommissioned. In the south, the headwaters of Medicine Cr begin to take shape among the undulating terrain, while a small Gravel Pit indicates local resource extraction used for maintaining the area's unimproved dirt roads.
