1950 Map of Rumford

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Rumford serves as the primary rail settlement in this pocket of Fall River County, positioned along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated western Craven Canyon down into the expansive Plains Valley. This area shows the early infrastructure of the Missouri River Basin development program, featuring a Levee and an Irrigation Canal designed to manage the seasonal flows of Hat Creek and its many tributaries, including Horse Creek and Squaw Creek. Rural life in the mid-century is centered around isolated landmarks like the Christensen Sch, which provided a focal point for the ranching families scattered across the Flat. The mapping reveals a complex network of ephemeral watercourses and local water management, essential for sustaining the community in this part of South Dakota.
