1964 Map of Salem NE

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The rural landscape of McCook County is defined here by the diagonal path of the Chicago And North Western railroad, which cuts through the agricultural townships of Richland, Salem, Emery, and Canistota. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map illustrates a transition in South Dakota's transportation infrastructure, where a major two-lane highway corridor begins to dominate the central sections, contrasting with the older rail-oriented development. Evidence of the region's historical commitment to local education is visible in the distribution of rural schoolhouses, including School No 4 in the north, School No 3 near the center, and School No 10 to the southeast. These small landmarks, along with a dense network of unimproved roads and section lines, provide a clear view of the mid-century settlement patterns in this prairie region.
