1956 Map of Black Horse SE

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Firesteel Creek winds through this section of Corson County, shaping a landscape defined by expansive prairies and strategic water management. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map reveals a rural economy supported by local landmarks like Bohle Dam and the nearby Spillway 2103. The settlement pattern is characterized by its isolation, with the social fabric of the area anchored by several small country schools. These institutions, including Liberty Sch in the northwest and Severns Sch near the southern boundary, served a dispersed population of ranching and farming families. The prominent terrain of Pleasant Ridge overlooks Standing Cloud Creek, providing a geographic anchor for researchers tracing family land tracts or studying the development of the Missouri River Basin during the mid-20th century.
