1953 Map of Caputa NE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Rapid Creek meanders through the heart of this Pennington County landscape, defining the topography of the central valley just before the mid-century. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks parallel the water, indicating the vital transportation corridor that connected this rural stretch of South Dakota to larger markets. On the higher ground north of the creek, the Knuppe Sch serves as a small but significant landmark for local history and genealogy research. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the prominent elevations of the Railroad Buttes, while various drainages like Lindsey Draw and Elkhorn Draw carve through the terrain. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present, noted by a single Gravel Pit near the center of the survey area.
