1950 Map of Interior SE

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Pine Ridge Indian Reservation terrain dominates this 1950 survey, showcasing the complex drainage systems of the South Dakota badlands. The winding course of Bear-in-the-Lodge Creek carves through the center of the sheet, joined by Eagle Nest Creek and Turtle Creek as they navigate the deeply dissected landscape. These waterways dictate the sparse human footprint, where early cattle ranching and rural education formed the backbone of the local community. Evidence of this modest infrastructure is found at the Headlee Ranch and the remote Garner Sch. This map was produced as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, capturing the geography of Washabaugh and Jackson counties before later administrative changes reorganized the region.
