1981 Map of Long Valley

About this map

The Long Valley community and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Boundary anchor this Jackson County landscape in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages, including Pass Creek, Water Hole Creek, and Bull Creek, which carve through the plains. Local social life and rural infrastructure are marked by specific landmarks such as the Rodeo Ground near the settlement and the Hawkwing Cemetery further east. This 1:25,000 scale map reveals a region of low-density habitation where water sources are vital, indicated by several Well sites and small stock ponds. The boundary between Jackson and Bennett counties runs across the southern portion of the sheet, while evidence of local industry appears at the Gravel Pit near Buzzard Creek.
