1952 Map of Reliance SW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The White River carves a deep valley across the southern portion of this landscape, marking the rugged boundary between Lyman and Tripp Counties. In the early 1950s, this area of South Dakota was characterized by a sparse network of rural institutions serving isolated ranching and farming homesteads. Education was centered at the Roosevelt Sch and Hieb Sch, while spiritual life was anchored by the Reformed Ch and the nearby Trinity Cem. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations like Red Butte and the Bailey region, with drainage provided by Red Butte Creek and Bad Creek. In the northern reaches, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad traverses the plains near Reliance, providing a vital commercial link for local operations such as the Nelson Ranch and other residents of the Rex township area.
