2012 Map of Caputa

About this map

The braided course of Rapid Cr dominates this Pennington County landscape, where the agricultural life of the plains is shaped by water management and topography. The Saint Germaine Ditch reflects the long-standing efforts to divert water across this arid region, connecting the rural community of Caputa with the surrounding grazing lands. To the south, Thompson Butte rises as a distinct landmark above the drainage basins of Antelope Cr. The map captures the quiet persistence of small prairie settlements like Farmingdale, located near the Farmingdale Reservoir and the Larsen Cem, which serves as a vital record for local family historians. This 2012 survey illustrates the network of rural roads, such as Saint Germaine Rd and Antelope Creek Rd, that link these isolated settlements and ranching operations together.
