USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Nisland serves as the central hub of this 1950s irrigation and transport corridor, where the Chicago and North Western railroad parallels the modern route of Highway 212. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, including the Belle Fourche River and its various tributaries like Indian Creek and Owl Creek. A sophisticated system of man-made waterways such as the South Canal, Butte Lateral, and Mawer Lateral crisscrosses the terrain, illustrating the agricultural importance of the Missouri River Basin development era.
