1956 Map of Little Eagle SW

About this map

High Bank Creek winds through the northern breaks of this Corson County landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Missouri River Basin during the mid-1950s. The map captures a rural transition where social centers are clearly marked by the Good Shepherd Ch and the Meyer Sch, both serving the surrounding ranchlands. Further south, the terrain shifts towards Saddle Butte and the waters of Spring Lake. A notable detail for historians is the inclusion of the Spring Lake Sch (Abandoned), which suggests a shift in the local population or school consolidation during this era. The western portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Freedom township boundary, providing a clear spatial context for genealogical and land-use research in this part of South Dakota.
