1924 Map of Pierre

About this map

The Missouri River forms the central artery of this 1920s landscape, serving as the county line between Hughes Co and Stanley Co. In this era, the state capital of Pierre and its neighbor across the water, Ft Pierre, are connected by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, which traces the northern bank of the river. The topography transitions from the alluvial Peoria Bottom to the elevated expanse of Giddings Flat, illustrating the diverse terrain surrounding the confluence of the Bad River.
