5. In Sanborn Maps, select South Dakota. Then select your town or a town with which you are familiar. Choose a date. Look at the first page containing the Index. Then navigate around the pages and see what you discover. Try to find a building on the map that is still in use today. Report your findings
I looked for DeSmet. I found the origional furniture store which was also the funeral home. That was common around the turn of the century--1900.
Good find. This is a neat resource for historians and those curious about their towns.
