1981 Map of Parade

About this map

Parade serves as a central hub for this portion of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, situated along Highway 212 in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Goose Creek, which flows southeast toward the Goose Creek Dam. This survey documents a transition in local transportation, noting an Abandoned railroad grade that runs parallel to the highway through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Agricultural operations are anchored by the Strong Ranch and Ridgeview Ranch, while smaller features like a local Cem and several water Well sites indicate the dispersed nature of settlement in this part of Dewey County. Precise elevations are maintained through several benchmarks, including Parade BM 2393 and BM 2417 located near the townsite.
