1950 Map of Buffalo Gap

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this South Dakota landscape, creating a dramatic series of meanders that define the local topography. At the northern edge of the map, the settlement of Buffalo Gap serves as a focal point near the Buffalo Gap Cem, while the town of Oral is situated to the southeast along the Chicago and North Western railroad line. The map illustrates a rural educational network that was already beginning to fade by the mid-century, specifically noting the Friedrick Sch (Abandoned) alongside active locations like Falls Sch and Fairview Sch.
