1956 Map of Black Horse NE

About this map

Grand River meanders through this portion of Corson County during the mid-1950s, a period when the Department of the Interior was focused on the development of the Missouri River Basin. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of several tributaries, including Firesteel Creek, Soldier Creek, and White Shirt Cr. In the southern reaches of the map, the community life is anchored by the Holy Spirit Ch and an adjacent Cem, providing a window into the rural settlements within the Liberty boundary. A prominent topographical feature known as the Hump stands out in the northern section, overlooking the river valley. This survey reflects the post-war efforts to document the topography and water resources of South Dakota, providing precise elevation data and land use patterns of the era.
