1983 Map of Sorum

About this map

Sorum serves as the focal point of this Perkins County landscape, situated along the path of Sorum Road just east of the border between Harding and Perkins Counties. The topography is characterized by a network of drainages including Rabbit Creek, Gap Creek, and Cap Creek, which carve through the high ground of the Plateau and the southern Wells region. This 1983 provisional survey captures the rural infrastructure of the early 1980s, featuring the Meyer Landing Strip and a localized extraction site at the Gravel Pit. To the east, the State Game Production Area surrounds Sorum Dam, indicating the importance of water management and wildlife preservation in this semi-arid environment. The presence of numerous unnamed wells and the winding courses of Peggy Creek and Flat Butte Creek reflect a landscape dedicated to ranching and resource management.
