About this map

Stone Lake State Public Shooting Area occupies the northwest corner of this prairie landscape, surrounding the waters of Stone Lake. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Medicine Creek, which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle past a prominent elevation known simply as Knoll. This 1970s survey illustrates a rural South Dakota environment where social life and infrastructure were anchored by small country schools. Educational landmarks such as Norfolk Sch and East Cora Sch are positioned at section crossroads, serving the surrounding farmsteads. The local economy is further evidenced by several Gravel Pits distributed across the landscape. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Sully Co and Hyde Co, providing a clear record of the region's geopolitical layout during this period.
