1956 Map of Bullhead SW

About this map

The rolling plains of Corson County are defined here by a network of drainage systems and early prairie boundaries in the mid-1950s. The landscape is split between the townships of Grant and Walker, where the topography is shaped by the winding courses of Iron Dog Creek and Stink Creek. This period in South Dakota's history shows a sparsely populated region primarily characterized by its geography rather than dense development. A key institutional marker for local families is the Grant Sch, a rural schoolhouse situated amidst the high-ground benches. To the south, the benchmark at Bullhead 2097 provides a high point in the terrain, reflecting the detailed elevation mapping conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program.
