1951 Map of Presho 4 NE

About this map

White River carves a deep, winding valley through this South Dakota landscape, marking the natural boundary between Lyman and Tripp counties. At the time of this 1951 field check, the area remained largely rural and defined by its drainage basins and isolated community hubs. Evidence of mid-century prairie life is found in the placement of the Holy Rosary Church on the bluffs overlooking the river and the distribution of local education centers like Allyn School and North Greenwood School. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous tributaries, including Mission Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Dog Ear Creek, which dictate the placement of roads and homesteads across the townships of Sylvia and Greenwood. Small-scale industry is represented by a Gravel Pit, while the presence of a lone Well near the river highlights the essential nature of water resources in this arid environment.
