1973 Map of De Grey SE

About this map

Pleasant Valley and the surrounding plains of Hughes County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and prairie landmarks in the early 1970s. The landscape is carved by Chapelle Creek and its tributary, South Chapelle Creek, which meander through the central and western portions of the quadrangle. In the southeast, the Crow Creek Indian Reservation Boundary marks a significant jurisdictional line across the prairie. This area reflects a traditional rural settlement pattern centered on community landmarks such as the Raber Sch and Chapelle Cem. To the northeast, the prominent rise of Webster Butte stands over the valley floor, while evidence of local industry is seen at a small Gravel Pit near the northern border.
