1982 Map of Mosher

About this map

Mosher and the surrounding plains of the Rosebud Indian Reservation define this corner of south-central South Dakota in the early 1980s. The landscape is deeply carved by intermittent drainages, including McChesneys Creek, Oak Creek, and DeBell Creek, which wind through the township boundaries of Butte and Mellette. A significant historical artifact is the Old R.R. Grade running east-to-west across the northern section, marking a legacy of transportation that once connected these prairie outposts. Cultural landmarks such as the Advent Cem and local utility Tanks near Mosher provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of this rural ranching region. The map also delineates the county line between Mellette and Todd, reflecting the intersection of municipal and tribal lands.
