1957 Map of Owanka NW

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Elk Creek winds through the northern reaches of this mid-century prairie landscape, defining a terrain of draws and ridges where the high plains meet the edges of local settlement. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and farming region on the border of Meade and Pennington Counties, characterized by small rural hubs and isolated landmarks. The settlement of Underwood anchors the southern portion of the sheet, while scattered educational sites like Schoun Sch and Lone Star Sch highlight the historical infrastructure of the township system before widespread school consolidation. Water management is central to life in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Tisdale Lake and the Vesta Dam on Patterson Creek, which support the livestock and agricultural operations around Lakeside and the Hoffman vicinity.
