About this map

Faith anchors the southern portion of this West River landscape, serving as a vital hub where the Perkins Co Meade Co line meets. The town's layout reflects its role in the regional ranching economy, featuring the Faith Municipal Landing Field and infrastructure like the Underground Reservoir. Family and local history is preserved at St Joseph Cem and Faith Cem, providing essential points of interest for genealogists tracing early residents of these plains.

The surrounding terrain is defined by the drainage of Flint Rock Creek and its South Fork, which meander through the prairie toward Rattlesnake Petes Pond. Evidence of past transportation networks is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the landscape southeast of the town center. This survey captures a moment when traditional land use patterns remained legible, from the open range to the established town site of Faith.
