1953 Map of Hermosa SE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Battle Creek and its tributaries carve a complex drainage system across this stretch of the South Dakota plains, defining the landscape south of the Pennington and Custer County line. The map captures the area as it transitioned from early 1950s survey data to updated 1970s aerial revisions, showcasing the persistence of rural infrastructure like the Lower Battle Creek Sch. Prominent topographic landmarks such as Flattop Butte and Yankee Hill rise above the network of seasonal drainages, including Charles Draw and Reed Draw. The orientation of these natural features alongside the sparse network of unimproved roads reveals the enduring ranching character of the region. Notable for genealogists is the specific location of the local schoolhouse, which served as a central hub for the scattered homesteads along the creek valley.
