About this map

The meandering course of the Little White River and Peck Creek defines the landscape of Bennett County in this 1981 edition. The map captures the agricultural and ranching character of the region, anchored by small settlements and rural crossroads that supported local families. The village of Tuthill is situated near the riverbanks, while the hamlet of Vetal sits to the north.

Evidence of local educational history is preserved with the marking of the England Sch, providing a precise location for genealogical research in this part of South Dakota. The topography is further punctuated by numerous small water bodies, including White Lake, Silver Lake, and Twin Lakes, which served as vital landmarks and resources for the surrounding prairie communities. Near the eastern edge, the settlement of Harrington provides another touchpoint for tracing mid-century residency and land use.
