1951 Map of Murdo SW

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Missouri River Basin development program shaped the mapping of this Jones County landscape in the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Horse Creek, which draws together several smaller tributaries including the West Fork and East Fork. This area of South Dakota reflects a mid-century rural schoolhouse network that was still very much intact at the time of the field check, providing a clear record of local educational geography before the consolidation of rural districts. The map documents two such specific institutions, East Buffalo Sch and West Buffalo Sch, positioned as central landmarks for the surrounding homesteads. Large regional labels for Murdo Buffalo and Mullen denote the broader land divisions and survey areas that characterize this part of the Great Plains during the postwar era.
