1951 Map of Badnation

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The White River carves a deep, winding path through the rugged break-lands of Mellette and Lyman counties, defining the boundary and the difficult topography of the Riverside and Badnation regions. This 1951 survey documents a rural landscape where social life centered on small, dispersed educational and religious landmarks. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several mission and community churches, including St Catharine Ch, St George Ch, and Gilbert Ch. The educational network of the mid-century is represented by Riverside Sch, Pleasant View Sch, and Springview Sch. Of particular historical interest is the noted Bad Nation Indian Sch (Abandoned), which sits near the northern river bluffs, marking an earlier chapter of the region's indigenous history and institutional presence.
