1983 Map of Sorum NE

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Chimney Butte rises above the rolling grasslands of northwestern South Dakota in this 1980s landscape, where drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Rabbit Creek. The geography here is marked by extensive plateaus and named range sections such as Strool, Maltby, and Antelope, reflecting a terrain shaped by water and wind. While the area is sparsely populated, human activity is etched into the land through remote infrastructure like the Quaal Landing Strip and John Landing Strip, which emphasize the necessity of aviation in these isolated stretches of Plateau country. A solitary Cem and a Gravel Pit near Bog Creek provide localized markers for genealogists and historians tracing the families and industries that sustained these rural communities. The map captures a transition point where seasonal waterways like Maltby Draw and Peggy Creek intersect with the open range.
