1983 Map of Prairie City
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Prairie City and Strool anchor this Perkins County landscape during the early 1980s, revealing a rural economy tied to the land and air. The presence of both Haney Landing Strip and Carr Landing Field underscores the importance of private aviation for navigating the expansive plateaus of the West River region. The terrain is defined by distinct high points like White Hill and Vail, while the South Branch Thunder Butte Creek winds through the southern half of the quadrangle. Local infrastructure is sparse but functional, featuring a Feedlot in the northwest and a central Cem near the primary settlement. The survey illustrates a transition in local geography, where the prominent Plateau and Strool landforms dictate the placement of ranching operations and several water Wells necessary for sustaining livestock in this semi-arid environment.
