1951 Map of Rice Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Rice Lake and the surrounding prairie of Hyde County define this post-war landscape, mapped as part of a development program for the Missouri River Basin. The region is organized into several distinct townships, including Union, Banner, Illinois, and Eden. Small rural schoolhouses, such as Money Sch and North Illinois Sch, are scattered throughout the sections, serving as the primary civic nodes for this agricultural community. The drainage pattern is dominated by the seasonal flow of Medicine Creek, which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle. Other prominent water bodies include Baloun Lake and Thomas Lake. This survey reflects the mid-century spatial organization of central South Dakota before modern consolidation, preserving the locations of specific country schools like Rice Lake Sch that once anchored these prairie townships.
