1972 Map of Wheaton West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad bisects this landscape, connecting the agricultural hub of Wheaton to the wider region during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a complex water management system along the border of Minnesota and South Dakota, where the Bois De Sioux River flows north from White Rock Dam. Large areas of controlled inundation are evident at Mud Lake within the Sisseton Indian Reservation and further south at Lake Traverse, reflecting the engineering of the regional watershed. Local landmarks such as the Nelson Cem and Larsens Camp provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The survey also captures the municipal infrastructure of the era, including the Wheaton Municipal Airport and the network of gravel pits that supported local development and road building near the Mustinka River.
