Fine reproduction of a panoramic map of Redfield, South Dakota in 1883,
barely five years after the first white settlers arrived to settle in
what was then called "Stennett Junction". In 1881, the town was re-named
after a notable investor and auditor with the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroads, Joseph Barlow Redfield. A continuous debate raged over the
designation of the county seat during the period of this map, including
allegations of election tampering. The town of Old Ashton was the
original county seat of Spinks County, but was contested by Redfield,
Ashton and Frankfort. Redfield was to become the county seat in 1876.
Inset illustrations on the map include the Public School, the
West Side of Humbolt Ave. and the Dakota Sun newspaper office.
This beautiful map provides a look at the beginnings of the city.
