About this map

Yankton County farmland and drainages are surveyed here in the late 1970s, revealing a landscape defined by small agrarian communities and family heritage. The rural character of the region is punctuated by numerous burial grounds including Polish Cem, Nikodym Cem, and Nedved Cem, which provide significant anchor points for genealogical research. The settlement of Utica sits at the northeastern edge of the map, served by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line that cuts horizontally across the central terrain.

Water features such as Beaver Creek and Marne Creek wind through the hills toward the southern reaches, where the settlement of Gavins and the Lake Port area are located. The presence of an Elm Grove Cem and a Lake Port Cem further suggests the historical density of these crossroads communities. Industrial activity is minimal, represented by a single Sandpit and a Radio Tower, leaving the focus on the established network of section-line roads and family-named landmarks.
