1970 Map of White NE

About this map

The boundary between Oak Lake and Sherman townships defines this section of Brookings County as it appeared in the early 1970s. This agricultural landscape is dominated by the prominent basin of Lake Hendricks, where a Spillway 1788 controls the water levels near the Minnesota border. The map reveals a meticulous record of land use and civil organization, from the local Townhall in the northern section to the numerous Gravel Pit operations concentrated near the lake and creek beds.
