1953 Map of Fort Meade NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Bear Butte Creek and Spring Creek carve through the landscape of Meade County, South Dakota, as documented in this early 1950s survey. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern defined by isolated schools and social landmarks, including Wilson Sch and Laurel Sch. A primary transportation corridor is established along Alkali Road, which tracks the course of Alkali Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of the Alkali Club House and several Gravel Pit sites suggests a community centered around local gathering points and small-scale resource extraction. This survey, based on 1952 aerial photography, provides a detailed look at the section lines and topography before more modern development patterns altered the plains.
