1948 Map of Smoky Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Smoky Butte dominates this prairie landscape in the late 1940s, a region defined by scattered wetlands and a dispersed network of rural schoolhouses. The area's social fabric is anchored by small community centers like Roseville No 2 Sch, Outlook No 4 Sch, and two distinct Elmgren No 2 Sch facilities. This period captures the landscape before the widespread consolidation of rural school districts, reflecting a time when educational hubs were spaced within walking or short riding distance for farm families. Along the northern edge, the Herman Cem serves as a genealogical marker for early settlers in Alexandria and Burg townships. The map also delineates the Divide Co Williams Co border, showing the intersection of Blue Ridge and Rock Island townships near the seasonally fluctuating Musta Lake.
