About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks bisect this prairie landscape, providing a vital east-west corridor through the northern plains of South Dakota in the mid-1970s. This survey focuses on the border between Corson Co and Dewey Co, illustrating the intersection of civil administrative boundaries and the Standing Rock Indian Reservation Boundary.

Hydrological features dominate the southern and eastern portions of the sheet, where the drainage patterns of Handboy Creek and Jolley Creek carve through the terrain. To the northeast, the Trail City RR Lake serves as a notable landmark adjacent to the rail line, indicating the historical reliance on local water sources for steam-era railroad operations and livestock in this rural ranching region.
