1983 Map of Bison
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Bison serves as the focal point of this western South Dakota landscape, shown here as it transitioned into the early 1980s. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring local infrastructure like the Radio Tower and Sewage Disp Ponds, while the nearby County Airport and Bison Cemetery ground the settlement's local history. The surrounding terrain is dominated by the Grand River National Grassland, with the South Fork Grand River cutting across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Significant landmarks such as White Butte and the broad expanses of Marsh Field and Rainbow characterize the high plains topography. Water sources including Spring Creek and Thunder Butte Creek drain the undulating prairie, while scattered Well sites and a Gravel Pit indicate the light industrial and agricultural footprint of Perkins County during this period.
