About this map

Sisseton serves as the central hub for this portion of the Sisseton Indian Reservation in Roberts County. The town is oriented around the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts a straight path through the southern townships of Goodwill and Sisseton. Cultural markers of the era are clearly visible, from the Hospital and Drive-in Theater on the outskirts of the main town site to the Trailer Park and St Peters Sch located near the local cemeteries.

To the west, the landscape is defined by the significant depression of Long Hollow, while the northern reaches transitions into the townships of Bossko and Enterprise. The Little Minnesota River meanders across the northeast corner, contrasting with the large expanse of Dry Wood Lake in the south. Genealogists will find interest in the distinct locations of Saron Ch Cem, St Peters Cem, and Goodwill Cem, each marking early community focal points within the reservation boundaries.
