1954 Map of Dalzell NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The confluence of the Belle Fourche River and the Cheyenne River dominates this mid-century western South Dakota landscape. Situated on the border of Meade and Pennington counties, the area is defined by sharp topographic shifts from river bottoms to high plateaus like Poverty Point and Duhamel Flat. The settlement pattern is sparse, reflecting the ranching culture of the Missouri River Basin development era, anchored by the Two Rivers Ranch and the site of the Crowell Sch (Abandoned). Numerous seasonal drainages such as Plum Draw, Bull Creek, and Badlands Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage network feeding into the larger river systems. This map captures a remote frontier geography where scattered Springs and a solitary Windmill represent essential points of human infrastructure in a wide-open landscape.
