1950 Map of Edgemont SW

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through the northeastern corner of this 1950 survey, defining a landscape shaped by water management and transit in Fall River County. The small settlement of Dudley sits near the riverbanks, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks provide a vital transport link. The intricate network of the Irrigation Canal and the presence of an Abandoned Canal suggest a history of evolving agricultural engineering as settlers attempted to harness the local waterways. Further south, Fiddle Creek Dam and the confluence of Fiddle Creek and Cottonwood Creek highlight the importance of these seasonal drainages. From the flats of Cottonwood to the northern reaches of Tubbs, the map illustrates a rural South Dakota territory where survival and industry were closely tied to the erratic flow of the plains' creek systems.
