1968 Map of Ludlow SE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Ashcroft Butte and Flint Butte anchor this high-plains landscape in Harding County, where early-century ranching and sparse rural infrastructure remained the norm through the 1960s. The drainage patterns of Big Nasty Creek, Horse Creek, and Lems Creek define the movement across this open country, carving through the terrain near the North Dakota border. Evidence of local industry and education appears in the northeast and northwest corners, where the Lanesboro Sch served the surrounding families and a solitary Mine suggests the area's mineral prospects. This survey captures a moment before modern consolidation, preserving the locations of namesake landforms and small-scale creek systems like Coal Bank Creek and Spring Creek that were vital to the livestock operations of the northern South Dakota prairie.
