About this map

Bad River meanders across the northern reaches of this Missouri River Basin survey, cutting through the high plains of Jones County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where the perennial water of the river meets the seasonal paths of Dry Creek and Ash Draw. This era of South Dakota history shows a rural topography divided between the townships of Washington and Union, with large tracts identified as Bovine and Van Metre. The presence of the Harrington Sch in the southeast corner provides a rare anchor for local history researchers, marking the center of a dispersed ranching community before the consolidation of rural school districts. The intricate contour lines reveal the complex erosional patterns typical of the region, illustrating how these waterways shaped the movement and settlement of early residents in the early 1950s.
