Fine reproduction of a panoramic map of
Watertown, South Dakota in 1883. County Seat of Condington County, the
town of Watertown was formed when the new railroad line stopped short of the
region's original settlement of Kampeska, and was moved to meet the
railroad. The arrival of the railroad brought a population boom to the
area. The federal land office moved from Springfield to Watertown in
1875 to handle the influx of settlers to the region. In 1880, the
population of Codington County was listed at 2,156, by 1884 there were 5,648
people in the county. This map depicts the town as it appeared shortly
after its formation. Inset illustrations include the buildings along
the west side of Maple Street, the west side of Oak Street, and Lake
Kampeska. Library of Congress stamp on lower margin is dated July 28,
1883. |
