1950 Map of Potato Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Pine Ridge Indian Reservation lands define this territory, where the settlement of Potato Creek sits along the banks of its namesake waterway. This mid-century survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures a landscape of prairie drainage and intermittent streams including Lost Dog Creek and Turtle Creek. The placement of a Cem near the primary settlement and scattered Windmill sites across the terrain points to the ranching economy and established community life in this portion of Washabaugh County. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and topography that governed land use during the development of the Missouri River Basin project, showing a network of unimproved roads and light-duty trails that linked these remote outposts.
