1953 Map of Hereford

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Belle Fourche River curves through the southwestern corner of this Meade County landscape, providing a vital water source in an area otherwise defined by drainage systems like Elm Creek and Dry Creek. The small settlement of Hereford serves as a local hub, anchored by the Hereford Sch and nearby religious life at St Eustace Ch. The distribution of rural schools, including Clover Sch, Lodge Sch, and McKenny Sch, illustrates the decentralized nature of ranching and farming communities during the mid-twentieth century. Movement through the territory is largely dictated by local paths and the notable Alkali Road, which tracks eastward through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
