1982 Map of Littleburg

About this map

Littleburg stands as the primary settlement on this landscape where the high plains of South Dakota meet the northern edge of Nebraska. Surveyed in the early 1980s, the terrain is defined by its drainage systems, most notably the winding paths of Eagle Creek to the north and Sand Creek in the south. The map documents a significant political and cultural geography, showing the Indian Reservation Boundary and the convergence of Todd Co and Cherry Co. This document captures the sparse, rural nature of the borderlands during this era, where the South Dakota Nebraska line bisects a territory otherwise unified by its rolling topography and shared waterways. The placement of section lines and township markers provides a clear framework for researchers tracing 20th-century land use and ownership in the region.
