1951 Map of Smithwick NW

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through the heart of this landscape along the border of Custer and Fall River counties, creating a complex network of seasonal drainages and elevated plateaus. On the southern banks, the expansive W G Flat dominates the topography, serving as the site for the rural W G Flat Sch. This 1951 field-checked survey highlights the significance of water management and land use in the Missouri River Basin development program, with detailed mapping of numerous draws and intermittent streams including Iron Draw, W G Draw, and Plumb Creek. To the north, the terrain transitions into the high ground of Harrison Flat and the depressions of Johnny Creek. This map preserves the mid-century layout of these remote cattle-ranching and dryland farming areas before significant modern alterations.
