1951 Map of Redelm NE

About this map

Cheyenne River Indian Reservation land dominates this 1951 survey, where the winding Moreau River carves deep loops across the Ziebach County landscape. The river's path is marked by several crossings, simply labeled as Ford, indicating the practical transportation network of the early fifties. Local community life is anchored by the Iron Lightning Sch and the nearby Iron Lightning Cem, providing specific points of interest for those researching family history in this portion of South Dakota. In the northern reaches, Thunder Butte Creek joins the drainage system amidst a terrain defined by high-frequency contour lines. Further east along the riverbank, St Luke Ch stands as another sign of the area's social and religious infrastructure during the mid-century development of the Missouri River Basin.
