1951 Map of Presho 4 NW

About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this portion of Tripp County in the early 1950s, defining the rugged transition between the Bad Nation and River Side terrain. This survey reflects a sparsely populated ranching landscape where isolated homesteads like Krutson Ranch and Iverson Ranch serve as primary landmarks across the rolling breaks. The mapping, conducted for the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, provides a detailed look at the drainage network feeding the main river, including Medicine Creek, Oak Creek, and Little Dog Creek. Institutional presence is minimal, anchored by the Pleasant Hill Sch in the northern uplands, while the economy is further evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits used for local infrastructure during this post-war period.
