1982 Map of Wewela NE

About this map

Mc Neely and Pleasant View townships anchor the northern portion of this 1982 provisional survey, which documents a sparsely populated stretch of southern South Dakota. The map illustrates a landscape defined by sectional boundaries and localized natural resources, such as the Gravel Pit located in the northeastern quadrant. Moving south into Lake and Stewart townships, the topography remains predominantly rural, characterized by small drainages and isolated depressions that influence the placement of local roads. This survey, compiled from 1974 aerial photography, serves as a high-fidelity record of the rural infrastructure and township divisions during a period when these agricultural districts maintained their traditional administrative boundaries. It is particularly useful for identifying specific land parcels and minor topographic features that were central to the local economy and land management in the late twentieth century.
