1953 Map of Rapid City NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The prairie landscape north of Rapid City, along the boundary of Meade and Pennington counties, reveals a mid-century rural network of community landmarks and watercourses. Elk Creek and Boxelder Creek wind through the terrain, anchoring a sparse but established settlement pattern of small schools and local gathering places. Central to the social geography are Harmony Sch, the Elk Creek Community Hall, and the Elk Vale Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of South Dakota.
