1951 Map of Deep Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Moreau River meanders across this Perkins County landscape, serving as the primary geographical anchor for a series of family ranching operations in the early 1950s. Mapping conducted for the Missouri River Basin development program reveals a sparsely settled territory where life centered on the river's path and its various crossings, including several fords and spillways. The presence of the Weedman Sch (Abandoned) south of the river indicates a shift in local education patterns by mid-century, while named homesteads like Marks Ranch, Halstead Ranch, and Kari Ranch mark the persistent agricultural footprint of the era. To the north, the terrain transitions into the high ground of Chaudoin, dissected by drainage features such as Swan Draw and Starve Out. This survey provides a precise look at the land use and water management infrastructure during a period of significant regional development.
