Civilian Conservation Corps Camps - South Dakota Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

The CCC provided work for 31,097 jobless men in South Dakota between 1933 and 1942. One of the projects near this location was shoring up American Island and building tourist cabins, bathhouse, race track, barn, road and parking areas. They also build stock dams, planted shelterbelts, demonstrated the use of stripcropping, rough tillage, terracing and contour farming to reduce erosion, removed blow dirt, and laid revetment. American Island has since been inundated by the building of the hydroelctric dams on the Missouri River.
