About this map

Rapid Creek defines the local hydrology of this Pennington County landscape, flanked by the irrigation infrastructure of the Saint Germaine Ditch. The small settlement of Caputa sits in the northwest corner, while Farmingdale is positioned further east along the waterway. The map reveals an area where high-plains agriculture and open ranch land meet, notably within the boundaries of the Buffalo Gap National Grassland.

Topographical landmarks like Thompson Butte rise above the drainage systems of Antelope Cr and several named draws, including Lindsey Draw and Indian Trail Draw. Genealogists may find interest in the location of the Larsen Cem, situated north of Farmingdale. The network of local roads such as Hammerquist Rd and Dawkins Rd provides a detailed framework for understanding the 21st-century distribution of homesteads and water resources like the Farmingdale Reservoir.
