1952 Map of Deep Creek NE

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Moreau River meanders across this Perkins County landscape, carving a distinct valley between the elevated terrain of Chaudoin, Moreau, and Martin. Mapped as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the topography reflects a pre-dam era where seasonal waterways like Rabbit Cr and Deep Creek were vital landmarks for navigation and land use. The presence of a Ford on Deep Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights a reliance on traditional river crossings at the time of the 1952 field check. This survey provides a precise record of section lines and township boundaries, including the intersection of T. 14 N. and R. 14 E. and R. 15 E., which is essential for tracing historical land claims and cattle grazing territories in the South Dakota plains.
