1983 Map of Daviston

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The tiny settlement of Daviston anchors this 1980s landscape in western South Dakota, a region defined by expansive townships and the winding course of Rabbit Creek. The terrain is characterized by the broad plateaus of Strool, Scotch Cap, and Maltby, which break away into natural drainage features like Mallory Draw and Peggy Creek. This survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching environment where section lines dictate the few available roads, and isolated landmarks like Lotties Butte and Antelope rise above the surrounding flats. Local history is subtly noted through features such as a lone Grave and a functional Well, reflecting the fundamental human needs in this remote stretch of Perkins County. The map captures the area just before modern agricultural and infrastructure shifts, preserving the layout of the old townships during the late twentieth century.
