1952 Map of Deep Creek SE

About this map

The boundary between Perkins Co and Meade Co runs through this section of South Dakota, mapped during the early 1950s as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Deep Creek, which cuts through the high plains. A significant marker of shifting local demographics is the Deep Creek Sch (Abandoned) in the northern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the consolidation of rural districts during the mid-century era. Further south, a solitary Windmill stands as a landmark for water management in this grazing country. The confluence of Flint Creek and Flint Rock Creek provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the western Dakotas before extensive modern infrastructure was established.
