This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wdB.2ACE/353.1 Message Board Post: Elk Point, SD is in Union County, SD, between Sioux Falls, SD & Sioux City, IA. I have not heard of a "Civil Bend", but since Elk Point is virtually between NE & IA in the southeast tip of SD, you might also need to look in those states. A good SD map should show all counties. Go to Google--enter Elk Point, SD & it will give you information on Elk Point. Hope this will help. Lorraine
