1958 Map of Forestburg NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The James River meanders through the eastern portion of this South Dakota landscape, defining the boundary between the townships of Clifton and Jackson. This 1950s survey, updated in the 1970s, reveals a rural grid defined by section lines and small community centers. Local education is anchored by several rural schoolhouses, including Christensen Sch, Hegg Sch, and McDonald Sch, which served the surrounding farmsteads. The presence of Bethlehem Ch near the river indicates a center for social and spiritual life for the residents of these prairies. Smaller waterways like Pearl Creek, Stony Run, and Sand Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of Beadle and Sanborn counties. The map also captures local industry through the identification of a Gravel Pit, providing a grounded view of the region's mid-century rural infrastructure.
