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.
