1959 Map of Fairpoint SE

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

East Elm Creek winds through this section of Meade County, defining a landscape primarily shaped by natural drainage and ranching activity. Surveyed in the late 1950s, the terrain shows a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the western South Dakota plains. Aside from a small Gravel Pit near the eastern border, the area is notably devoid of heavy industrial development or concentrated towns, reflecting a quiet era of agricultural land use. A prominent landmark labeled C R O S S appears in the southwestern corner, while numerous benchmarks and elevation points indicate the systematic mapping of this high-plains topography. This document serves as a clear record of the rural landscape before modern rural development or intensive land-use changes altered the drainage basin of the Creek.
