1978 Map of Presho SE

About this map

Iron Mill Creek and Mill Creek dominate the drainage patterns of this central South Dakota landscape, where the land is organized into the expansive townships of Presho, Liberty, and Earling. This 1970s survey captures a rural environment defined by sectional grid lines and isolated landmarks like the Smith Landing Strip. The topography shows a series of draws and ridges leading toward Mission Creek in the south, reflecting the agrarian structure of Pratt and Sylvia townships. This map is a clear record of the high plains cadastral system, showing how the townships of Hilmore and its neighbors were surveyed and utilized during the late twentieth century.
