1979 Map of Fraser Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Firesteel Creek winds through this rural South Dakota landscape, defining the topography across the borders of Jerauld and Aurora Counties. In the late 1970s, the area's social geography was anchored by community landmarks such as a rural Townhall and several denominational resting places, including Solberg Cem, German Cem, and Charity Cem. The map reveals a land shaped by intermittent drainage, evidenced by family-named terrain features like Piersons Draw, Motts Draw, and Donegans Draw. Agricultural and small-scale industrial life is visible through the network of section-line roads and scattered Gravel Pit locations. At the heart of the local water system is Fraser Dam, which provides a focal point for the surrounding townships of Viola, Blaine, Bristol, and Belford. Small red dashed lines on the sheet indicate fence and field boundaries, offering an unusually granular look at the rural property divisions of the era.
