1953 Map of Caputa NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Rapid Creek defines the central valley of this Pennington County landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific rail line follows the water’s edge through the plains. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features like Elkhorn Buttes and deep drainage systems such as Lindsey Draw and Railroad Draw. This 1953 survey, with purple revisions from 1976, captures the rural infrastructure of the mid-20th century, including the Knuppe Sch and a local Gravel Pit. The map shows a transition from the elevated tablelands near Underwood to the lower creek bottom, illustrating how early transportation corridors were dictated by the natural breaks in the South Dakota prairie.
