1954 Map of Belvidere NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Sandstone Flat dominates the central landscape of this western South Dakota region, where the drainages of South Creek and Indian Creek have carved a complex network of draws and ridges. During the mid-1950s, this area north of Belvidere served a dispersed ranching community supported by small rural institutions like the South Creek Ch and its neighboring South Creek Sch. To the east, the West Indian Creek Sch stands near the deeply incised Big Negro Draw, illustrating the traditional pattern of neighborhood schools placed to serve families across the expansive terrain. Water management in this semi-arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Bachin Dam, while topographic landmarks such as Johnson Hill, Raiders Hills, and Crawford Hill provided essential orientation for early residents and travelers traversing the county line between Haakon and Jackson.
