This is a 1929 Opie Chambers and Ernest J. Dowling pictorial map of South Dakota - 'The Sunshine State'. Created as promotional material extolling South Dakota's many advantages geared toward 'industrial improvement', the map illustrates South Dakota from above in a pseudo bird's-eye-view style. The entire state is depicted, and it is divided into different industrial regions using shading. Bold capital type extolls the different parts of the state: the 'lake region', 'The Great Corn and Grain Belt', 'The Great Alfalfa and Cow Country', 'The Fertile Pine Ridge Reservation', 'The Wonderlands', and 'The Scenic Black Hills'. 'Sheep and Cattle' and 'Sugar Beets' are noteworthy in northwestern South Dakota. The Missouri River, illustrated in a brilliant blue, crosses the state diagonally. A laudatory quotation is included in the lower left quadrant, proclaiming everything South Dakota has to offer. The whole is surrounded by a pictorial border made up of illustrations of South Dakota agriculture, livestock, and wildlife. Larger vignettes occupy the four corners and highlight Mount Rushmore, a farm scene, Ice Box Canyon, and a sugar factory. (more details)
