I searched myself and at first I found nothing about me, Mara Marie Hysell. I then searched Mara Marie Hysell and also found nothing. I relooked about Mara Reed and was given info about Marie Reed but no Mara Reed.
I was able to find my grandmother. This may be due to her passing away in 2004. I did not enjoy being in Ancestry Library.
When looking up South Dakota I was given a lot of choices. Few which had much to do with South Dakota. I was able to learn about other states, but why would I want to go threw all the hassle if I wanted to look for something.
Overall, I was dissappointed in Ancestry Library. Too many options, none of which were relevant to me or my subject.
On Heritage Quest I looked up my name, Hysell, and came up with 4 hits. I clicked on the request form and was given the PER SI order form. I'm not sure where it goes after that.
On Sanbourn maps I looked up Bridgewater. I saw saw that they had a dance hall along with other things the town no longer has. If the Post Office hasn't moved they still had one in 1928. The school had changed. It is now connected with the gym and not seperate. I was not able to find when that occured.

I'm sorry for your difficulty with Ancestry & Heritage Quest. Genealogists find them very valuable. If you want to learn more, I recommend the vendor webinars listed in the State Library training calendar. They go through everything really well. I am glad you tried it and appreciate your comments on those & Sanborn Maps.
