About this map

Reva serves as a small focal point in this 1968 landscape, situated in the northwestern corner of South Dakota where the high plains meet the distinctive breaks of the Slim Buttes. The map documents a sparse but established community infrastructure, anchored by the Reva Sch and local religious sites such as Slim Buttes Ch and Our Lady of the Prairie Ch. These landmarks, along with a Historical Marker located near the town center, point to a region with deep-rooted ranching and local heritage.

The hydrology of the area is defined by intermittent drainages and critical water sources like McPherson Spring and Bar H Spring. Water management is further evidenced by several scattered wells and the winding paths of Gap Creek and Crooked Creek. The terrain is characterized by broad plateaus like Grandview and the protective valley of Winter Draw, connected by routes such as Hoover Road and Sorum Rd.
