About this map

Still Lake and Cottonwood Lake anchor this agricultural landscape in Codington County, where the meandering course of the Big Sioux River and Mahoney Creek define the local drainage. The map captures the organized township structures of Dexter, Germantown, Fuller, and Rauville, revealing a pattern of rural settlement and land use characteristic of the early 1970s. The southeastern corner is marked by the Sisseton Indian Reservation Boundary, a significant historical and jurisdictional line cutting across the township sections.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Esterly Cem and a centralized Townhall, which serve as evidence of the community infrastructure. Industry is represented by several Gravel Pit operations, while the fine red dashed lines indicate selected fence and field lines visible from aerial photography, offering researchers a precise look at the division of property and agrarian boundaries at this specific time.
