1966 Map of Wolverton SE

About this map

Deerhorn Cem sits as a quiet landmark within the expansive agricultural grid of Wilkin County during the mid-1960s. This survey of the rural townships of Deerhorn, Atherton, Mitchell, and Manston reveals a landscape heavily modified for drainage and early aviation. The South Branch Buffalo River and Deerhorn River wind through the sections, supplemented by extensive civil engineering projects like County Ditch No 13 and State Ditch No 15. The presence of a Landing Strip and a separate Landing Field alongside scattered Gravel Pits reflects the area's mid-century reliance on local transport and resource extraction. The map provides a detailed view of section lines and individual farmstead placements that defined the prairie farming economy of the era.
