1978 Map of Presho NW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Medicine Creek winds across this Lyman County landscape, defining the central drainage basin alongside the upper reaches of Stony Butte Creek. The map documents a critical transportation corridor during the late 1970s, featuring the path of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad as it parallels the water. This alignment illustrates the historical reliance on natural valleys for rail infrastructure in the South Dakota plains. The area is divided between the administrative boundaries of Lund and Moore, with the modern footprint of Interstate 90 cutting across the southern half of the sheet. Two designated Rest Area sites along the highway signify the transition from the steam-era rail economy to the mid-century dominance of the interstate system.
