1953 Map of Fort Meade NE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Bear Butte stands as a prominent geological anchor in this mid-century topographic survey of Meade County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Spring Creek, Bear Butte Creek, Cottle Creek, and Alkali Creek, which carve through the terrain and dictate the placement of early rural infrastructure. Local community life during this era is centered around small educational hubs like Wilson Sch and Laurel Sch, while the Alkali Club House and a Gravel Pit suggest the social and industrial activity of the period. This map captures the region's transition as the Alkali Road network provided essential connectivity across the drainage basins of the Black Hills foothills before more modern development altered the rural footprint.
