1973 Map of Pierre
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Pierre stands at the confluence of the Missouri River and the Bad River during the early 1970s, serving as the civic and institutional heart of South Dakota. The map captures the city's complex infrastructure, from the Capitol and City Hall to an extensive network of educational facilities including Riggs Sch, Buchanan Sch, and the Pierre Indian Sch. Transportation is dominated by the Chicago and North Western railroad and the Pierre Municipal Airport, while the riverfront is defined by La Framboise Island and the expansive Lake Sharpe. South of the river, the landscape transitions into open terrain marked by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which runs through the heart of Stanley County. This survey provides a precise look at the capital city before modern suburban expansion significantly altered the surrounding bluffs and riverbanks.
