1964 Map of Wagner NE

About this map

Choteau Creek meanders through this landscape on the boundary of Charles Mix and Douglas County, reflecting a rural settlement pattern defined by school districts and townships in the mid-1960s. The map highlights the Yankton Indian Res Bdy, which cuts across the northeast corner, marking a significant historical and jurisdictional boundary. The area is divided into named townships including Howard, Kennedy, Plain Center, and Bryan, each anchored by foundational community structures. Genealogists will find the East Lake Andes Ch Cem and numbered school sites such as School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3 particularly useful for locating family homesteads. The terrain is characterized by prairie potholes and small water bodies like Burks Lake, with local industry noted at a Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet.
