1983 Map of Marcus

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Marcus sits at the center of this 1980s landscape in Meade County, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding ranching and prairie lands. The area is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages, with the confluence of Red Owl Creek and White Owl Creek shaping the topography of the southern half of the quadrangle. These waterways, along with Cherry Creek to the north, illustrate the complex drainage patterns characteristic of the South Dakota plains. A solitary Gravel Pit and a small Spring suggest the localized nature of industrial activity and natural water resources in this era. The presence of Ensor Lake and deep-cut features like Cowboy Draw and Merry Draw highlight the seasonal and erosive nature of the local hydrology, providing a detailed record of the terrain as it was field-checked in the early 1980s.
