1979 Map of Bijou Hills NE

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Brule County is defined by a sparse network of section roads and small-scale educational centers in this late-1970s survey. Civil divisions such as Smith and Richland divide the territory, which is marked by the presence of localized community landmarks like Smith Sch and Richland Sch. The small settlement of Richland serves as a focal point in the southern portion of the quadrangle. In the far northeast corner, the industrial influence of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad clips the terrain, providing a vital transportation link for the region's agricultural output. The land itself is characterized by the upland terrain of Kimball and Highland, where the mapping of individual fence and field lines offers researchers an exceptionally detailed view of historic land use and property boundaries.
