About this map

The Sisseton Indian Reservation Boundary defines the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Codington County during the early 1970s. The land is characterized by a sparse network of section-line roads and scattered farmsteads across the townships of Germantown, Rauville, and Leola. Social and community life centers on landmarks such as St Johns Ch, St Lukes Ch, and a local Townhall, while the presence of numerous Gravel Pits indicates the local extraction industry of the era.

Transportation infrastructure includes the tracks of the Burlington Northern railroad, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the quadrangle. Drainage is provided by the meandering paths of Mahoney Creek and Mud Creek. A notable aviation feature, the Henricks Landing Strip, appears in the southern portion of the survey, reflecting the integration of private air travel into the rural plains economy.
