1951 Map of Ideal NW

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The White River carves a winding path across the South Dakota plains, defining the boundary between Lyman and Tripp counties. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of isolated ranching outposts and small rural schoolhouses that served the expansive homesteads of Sylvia, Edna, and Star Valley. The presence of the Nelson Sch (Abandoned) by the early 1950s suggests the shifting demographics of the region, while the Edna Sch remained a focal point for the community near the Christensen Ranch.
