1952 Map of Deep Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Perkins Co Meade Co border divides this 1950s landscape, illustrating the remote ranching and grazing territory of western South Dakota. Part of a larger program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the map details a complex drainage system led by Deep Creek. The terrain is defined by the confluence of watercourses such as Flint Creek and Flint Rock Creek, which carve through the high plains. A solitary Windmill stands as a marker of the agricultural infrastructure required to sustain livestock in this semi-arid environment during the early post-war era. The survey captures the land shortly after aerial photography was conducted in 1948, reflecting a period when geographic precision was being applied to the vast open ranges of the Great Plains.
