1913 Map of Newell
USGS Topo · Published 1913About this map
The Belle Fourche River winds through this western South Dakota landscape during a period of significant agricultural and infrastructure development. The arrival of the Chicago and Northwestern Ry anchored the town of Newell, which serves as a central hub near the Butte Co Meade Co Boundary Line. An intriguing historical layer is added by the inclusion of irrigation ditches from the Belle Fourche project, noted in the margin as being based on 1913 data from the U.S. Reclamation Service, reflecting the era's push to transform the plains through water management.
