1952 Map of Parade NW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The confluence of the Moreau River and Green Grass Creek forms a focal point for the settlement at Green Grass, situated within the expansive Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. This 1952 field survey, updated with late-20th-century photorevisions, documents a landscape shaped by the drainage patterns of the Cheyenne River and its northern tributaries. The mapping was conducted as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, capturing the terrain of Dewey County before modern agricultural and infrastructure shifts. Aside from the primary settlement at Green Grass, the map identifies local industrial activity such as a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks, alongside natural watercourses like Redwater Creek and Meadow Creek. The detailed topography illustrates the intricate coulees and bluffs typical of the western South Dakota plains, providing a clear record of the area's geography during the mid-century era.
