About this map

The Missouri River town of Yankton serves as the focal point of this late 1970s landscape, illustrating a period of established institutional and educational development. The map details the local academic infrastructure, showing the campuses of Yankton College and several local schools like Stewart Sch and Beadle Sch. To the northwest, the settlement of Utica and the rail intersection at Napa Junction highlight the area's logistical importance, supported by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line.

Land use across the quadrangle reflects a mix of civic service and natural resource management, from the South Dakota Human Services Center near Marne Creek to the Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery along the southern edge. Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of Sacred Heart Cem and Garden of Memories Cem, while the presence of several Gravel Pits and Claypits underscores the region's industrial ties to its geological deposits.
