1978 Map of Thomas Lake NW

About this map

Stone Lake sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, surrounded by the Stone Lake State Public Shooting Area. The terrain is defined by the townships of Roy, Canton, Avon Springs, and Pleasant View, revealing a sparse but organized rural structure during the late 1970s. The map highlights the localized infrastructure of the Dakota plains, featuring small private aviation markers like the Hobus Landing Strip and Fischer Landing Strip. Evidence of early community education remains visible at the Capp Sch site, while numerous gravel pits across the landscape indicate the local industry supporting the region's road network. This survey also documents the convergence of three county lines, where Potter, Sully, and Hyde counties meet.
