1951 Map of Cedar Butte NE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Prospect Sch sits at the center of this 1951 topographic study, serving as a social and geographic anchor for the scattered ranching operations in this portion of Mellette County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the headwaters of Larvie Creek and the meandering path of Cottonwood Creek. Large-scale geographic designations like Rocky Ford, Redfish, and Prospect organize the terrain, which transitions into the significant formations of Cedar Butte and Running Bird in the south. The mapping of the Brauns on Ranch, England Ranch, and Dixon Ranch highlights the specific families established here during the early 1950s, a period when the Department of the Interior was focused on the Missouri River Basin development program. This map provides a detailed view of these rural homesteads before significant changes in land use or infrastructure.
