1970 Map of Wilmot NW

About this map

The Sisseton Indian Reservation Boundary and an older Treaty Boundary define the administrative geography of this 1970 landscape in Roberts County. The terrain is marked by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad corridor, which cuts across the northeast corner near Mud Lake. These historical lines underscore the complex land history of the region, where township names like Springdale, Lee, Lawrence, and Summit organize the rolling prairie. Natural features such as the Whetstone River and Big Coulee drain the territory, while the isolated Boe Cem and various gravel pits offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking early settlement and rural industry.
