1954 Map of Dalzell SE

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this landscape along the border of Meade and Pennington counties, defining a rugged network of drainage systems and high plateaus. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the South Dakota plains, where cattle ranching and sparse settlement were the primary drivers of land use. A lone Windmill stands near the riverbank, and the Squaw Creek Sch serves as a reminder of the era's local school districts.
