1973 Map of Dry Run

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a historic line across this Buffalo County landscape, marking a legacy of land division in central South Dakota. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Crow Creek, Dry Run, and Elm Creek, which cut through the high plains of the Eden and Elvira districts. This 1973 survey reveals a sparsely settled region where human presence is concentrated at small locales like Anderson and Gann. The map captures a specific moment in rural development, showing a network of light-duty and unimproved roads that navigate the complex topography of draws and ridges. A lone Gravel Pit along the eastern edge suggests localized resource extraction, while the presence of the treaty boundary provides a crucial reference point for genealogists and land historians tracing early property records and jurisdictional shifts in the region.
