1954 Map of Dalzell NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Belle Fourche River dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, winding through Meade County before the widespread changes of the modern era. The topography reveals a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the bifurcated flows of East Killdeer Creek and Killdeer Creek, which carve into the terrain alongside the aptly named Badlands Creek. Human activity is sparse and centered on agricultural endurance, evidenced by the Cowan Sch and scattered landmarks like the Belle Fourche River Ford. This 1954 field check highlights a period of Missouri River Basin development, where infrastructure was minimal, consisting largely of primitive crossings and a protective Levee along the river's edge.
