1981 Map of Ridgeview SW

About this map

St Basils Ch and an adjacent Cem serve as a central landmark in this 1980s landscape of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. The area is defined by a network of ranching outposts such as Gesinger Ranch, Simon Ranch, and Veo Ranch, which are connected by roads and drainage systems. The small settlements of Mossman and Rousseau sit along a primary transit corridor, while the drainage of Goose Creek and the West Branch Rousseau Cr carve through the high plains topography. A significant feature of this era's transportation network is the presence of an abandoned rail line or roadway cutting across the southern half of the map, signaling a shift in the region's infrastructure. Notable for genealogists, the map also identifies an isolated Grave located north of the Mossman area.
