1972 Map of Rosholt

About this map

The town of Rosholt serves as a primary hub in this corner of the Sisseton Indian Reservation, where the prairie landscape is marked by the industrial presence of the Soo Line railroad. The map documents a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by several country houses of worship and burial grounds, including St Joseph Ch, Trondhjem Ch, and Bethania Cem. To the east, the terrain drops away into the valley of Lake Traverse and Mud Lake, where the Reservation Dam manages water levels along the border between South Dakota and Minnesota. The inclusion of the Hahn Airport and the Townhall reflects the civic and transportation infrastructure supporting the agricultural districts of Victor, White Rock, and Harmon during the early 1970s.
