1951 Map of Vayland SW

About this map

Spring Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Hand County prairie, its waters surrounded by the townships of Pearl, Highland, Ohio, and Logan. Published as part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, this 1951 edition provides a detailed view of the rural educational network serving Pleasant Valley. Numerous small country schools, including Nelson Sch, Horseshoe Bend Sch, and Lake View Sch, are mapped at regular intervals across the section lines, reflecting the decentralized social structure of the mid-century Dakota plains. The community's spiritual and commemorative landmarks are preserved here through the documentation of Pleasant Valley Ch and the T Cem. Windmills are scattered throughout the quadrangle, highlighting the reliance on groundwater for the region's agricultural homesteads during the late 1940s mapping period.
