1952 Map of Deep Creek NE

About this map

The Moreau River carves a deeply winding path across this Perkins County landscape, which was surveyed in the early 1950s as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is characterized by distinctive high points and breaks, including Chaudoin, Moreau, and Martin. These family-named or landmark features rise above the river valley, overlooking the intricate meanders of the water below. In the northern reaches, Rabbit Cr flows toward the Missouri Basin, while Deep Creek crosses the southern boundary near a marked Ford. This map captures a sparsely settled grazing region where the natural topography dictated the placement of early tracks and crossings before modern infrastructure arrived.
