About this map

The Wood River drainage basin in southern Custer County reveals a landscape of dispersed rural education and religious life as it appeared in the mid-20th century. This area, surveyed as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, is defined by its numerous schoolhouses, reflecting the decentralized social structure of the era. Many of these institutions, such as School No 61 and School No 94, are noted as abandoned by the time of the field check, signaling a shift in the region's demographic and educational infrastructure. In contrast, the Lutheran Church and accompanying Lutheran School stand as focal points for the community near the banks of Buffalo Creek. The map also captures several other local landmarks including Pleasant Hill School, Lone Eagle School, and Montrose School, providing a detailed view of the rural township system before further consolidation.
