About this map

Rapid City serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, showcasing a period of significant expansion across the Pennington County landscape. The urban core is anchored by institutional landmarks such as the South Dakota School of Mines, St Johns Hospital, and City Hall. Beyond the city limits, a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the Iowa Ditch, Murphy Ditch, and Cyclone Ditch reveals the agricultural priorities of the era, drawing water from Rapid Creek to support outlying fields.
