1956 Map of Black Horse SW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Liberty and Pleasant Ridge characterize this high-plains landscape within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation during the mid-20th century. The mapping reflects a sparsely populated area where education and industry are marked by isolated landmarks like the Lightcap Sch and a local Strip Mine in the western reaches. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Louise Creek and Standing Cloud Creek, which cut through the high ground. Produced as part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the survey captures the transition from 1950s aerial photography to 1970s updates, showing a terrain shaped by both natural watercourses and the early extraction of resources on the reservation.
