About this map

The Old Fort Randall Military Road slices diagonally across this Nebraska borderland, marking a historical corridor through Boyd County and Gregory County. This 1960s survey captures a landscape defined by the drainage systems of Whisky Creek and Ninemile Gulch as they descend toward the Missouri River in the northeast corner. The small settlement of Gross is documented here alongside its corresponding Gross Cem, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections of Morton and Mullen townships.

Community life is reflected in several localized features, including the Rosedale Ch and schools such as Pleasant View Sch and Rosedale Sch. The map also delineates the Fort Randall Military Reservation Boundary, providing a clear record of the jurisdictional limits between South Dakota and Nebraska. From the heights of Ninemile Hill to the various Flowing Wells dotting the terrain, the sheet offers a precise view of mid-century agricultural and civic organization in the Missouri River Basin.
