1983 Map of Sorum SW

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Antelope Creek meanders through this portion of the northwestern South Dakota plains, defining a landscape of wide-ranging watercourses and subtle topographic shifts along the Harding Co Perkins Co border. This area within the Wells and Wyandotte townships reflects a late twentieth-century ranching and resource-based economy, where scattered wells and intermittent drainages like Ash Creek and Sheep Creek dominate the terrain. A notable geological landmark, Flat Butte, rises above the surrounding flats, serving as a primary navigational point in an otherwise open expanse. Industrial activity is localized at the Gravel Pits in the southwest, suggesting the extraction of materials for the regional road network. The map captures the infrastructure of the early 1980s, documenting a remote frontier where section lines and small-scale excavations represent the primary human imprint on the land.
