About this map

The Sisseton Indian Reservation encompasses this entire 1970 landscape, where the deeply incised ravines of Long Hollow and Sieche Hollow create a dramatic contrast to the surrounding prairie. Within these drainages, Sieche Hollow State Park protects the unique geography of the Coteau des Prairies. The map reveals a community centered around faith and memory, with several rural landmarks such as St Benedict Ch and its accompanying St Benedict Cem, along with Hope Ch and Spring Valley Cem.

Water defines the southern and western reaches of the quadrangle, notably through the large expanse of Dry Wood Lake and the smaller Whitestone Lake. Local resource extraction is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits, while recreational development appears near the eastern edge at the Golf Course. This survey serves as a clear record of land use and property boundaries, including the division between Marshall Co and Roberts Co.
