Book Title: Doane Robinson's Encyclopedia Of South Dakota

  Andes Lake is 10 miles long and about one mile wide, lying in the northeastern
part of Charles Mix County. It is a fine fishing and summer resort. The
evolution of the name of the lake, which is also the name of the county seat of
Charles Mix County, (located upon it), is interesting. Eighty years ago a trader
named Handy located upon the river near the present White Swan, and the bend in
the stream nearby was called Handy's Point; five or six miles distant was the
lake which was also called Handy's Lake. The French, trappers and traders did
not sound the H in his name but called him Andy and in the early records the
lake came to be called Andy's lake. The evolution into Andes was easy.
