1964 Map of Meadville NW

About this map

The Rosebud Indian Reservation occupies the northern edge of this map, marking the border between South Dakota and Nebraska. This landscape at the mid-century transition is defined by the high plains of Keya Paha County, where ranching operations like the Schroeder Ranch and Weston Ranch are the primary landmarks. The presence of rural institutions such as Lost Creek Sch and Guide Rock Sch reflects the sparse but established settlement patterns of the sandhills region. The terrain is marked by the winding course of Cottonwood Creek and the distinct elevation of Guide Rock, which serves as a notable local landmark. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Heerten Cem, providing a precise point for family research in this quiet stretch of the borderlands.
