1956 Map of Rousseau Creek SW

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this mid-century landscape on the border of Dewey and Stanley Counties, providing a critical water source for the livestock operations of the South Dakota plains. Family-held lands like Holloway Ranch and Chisholm Ranch are anchored near the riverbanks, while the High Elk Ranch sits further south. The map documents an important transition for the Missouri River Basin; areas along the river are marked to be submerged by the future Oahe Reservoir at an elevation of 1620 feet, signaling the coming change to this riparian environment.
