1951 Map of Ridgeview NW

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Cheyenne River Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century landscape in Dewey County, defined by the winding course of the Moreau River across the northern sections. This 1951 survey, part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a landscape of ranching and drainage networks during a period of planned regional water management. Local landmarks like Ewing Ranch and Gunville Ranch anchor the river valley, providing specific reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing family holdings. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses such as Cottonwood Creek and Bull Creek, illustrating the intricate topography of the northern plains. The map records a specific moment when these remote outposts and traditional reservation boundaries were documented through early aerial photography and precise field checks.
