1993 Map of Camp Crook

About this map

Little Missouri River serpentines through this western South Dakota landscape, shaping the development of Camp Crook and the surrounding ranchlands. The map documents a classic Great Plains ranching economy, centered on the community at Camp Crook where the Municipal Airport and Rodeo Ground sit adjacent to the town center. Long-established cattle operations like the K Bar, Moseley Ranch, and Catron Ranch are anchored to the river's valley, while the higher ground is marked by features like Battle Ridge and Dead Man Hill. Local history and genealogy interests are served by the location of Fairview Cem and the naming of drainage features like Hoag Coal Mine Draw and Grandma Schang Draw, which suggest early land use and family legacies in this corner of Harding County.
