1970 Map of Waubay
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The town of Waubay sits at the heart of a complex glacial landscape, positioned between the waters of Blue Dog Lake and Little Rush Lake. This 1970 survey illustrates a region defined by its water and transport, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad bisects the prairie terrain. The eastern edge of town is marked by the Sisseton Indian Reservation Boundary, while the expansive Bitter Lake dominates the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local history is anchored at Old Zion Cem and Lake Wood Cem, while the surrounding landscape shows numerous Gravel Pits and various National Wildlife Management Areas. The distribution of Gravel Pits suggests active local extraction industries during the early 1970s, supporting the regional infrastructure of the Day County lake region.
