1956 Map of Black Horse NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Grand River meanders across this northern South Dakota landscape within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, serving as the primary geographic corridor for this 1950s survey. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including White Shirt Creek and Hump Creek in the north, and Firesteel Creek to the south. Human presence is sparse, centered on small landmarks like Holy Spirit Church and an adjacent Cemetery near the southern boundary. The map provides a record of early land use in Liberty township, where small extraction efforts are noted by several Pits and a solitary Pit near the river. This document was produced as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, illustrating the remote agricultural and natural character of Corson County before late 20th-century shifts.
