1953 Map of New Underwood NW

About this map

Elk Creek meanders through this South Dakota landscape, defining the local drainage patterns as they appeared in the early 1950s. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Antelope Cr and its tributaries, showing a sparse rural development typical of the western plains during this era. A single center of community life, Brehm Sch, stands north of the main creek, serving as a vital landmark for local history and genealogy. The map also delineates the administrative boundary of Meade Co Pennington Co, providing a clear record of the jurisdictional divide between these two counties as documented by the Geological Survey. This 1953 field-checked study offers a precise view of the topography before later shifts in regional infrastructure.
