1953 Map of Fort Meade

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Bear Butte dominates the northern skyline of this 1950s survey, rising sharply above the surrounding plains and the Bear Butte National Wildlife Refuge. To the south, the landscape is defined by the expansive Fort Meade Military Reservation, where the historic post of Fort Meade serves as a central hub alongside a Veterans Hospital. The intersection of military history and early education is evident in the scattered rural schools, such as Hamm Sch and Spring Creek Sch, which served the outlying ranching communities during this era.
