1980 Map of Roundtop

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Oglala National Grassland dominates this section of Sioux County, where the high plains transition through a series of dramatic drainages and badland formations. Sparse settlement in the late 1970s is evidenced by isolated outposts like Joder and Roundtop, which are supported by a network of rural schoolhouses including Norman Sch, Roundtop Sch, and Little Cottonwood Sch. This landscape is defined by its hydrology, with Whitehead Creek, Cottonwood Cr, and Sand Creek carving through the terrain near the Kern Hills. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts a diagonal path across the northern reaches, serving as a primary transit artery through an area otherwise characterized by landmarks like Eagles Eye Rock and the unique geology of Toadstool Park. Local history is anchored by the Union Star Cem, which serves the scattered ranching community found at places like Meng Ranch.
