1969 Map of Spring Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Little White River carves a deep valley through the northern portion of this South Dakota landscape, where the Spring Creek settlement serves as a local hub. Rural life in the late 1960s is centered around the Spring Creek Day Sch and the community's spiritual landmarks, including St Angelo Cem, St Patrick Cem, and Gurue Cem. The map captures a transitional landscape defined by water resources, from the northern Coffee Creek to the southern Minnechaduza Creek, which crosses the boundary between Todd County and Cherry County. This 1969 field-checked survey documents the ranching character of the region, specifically noting the Arnold Ranch and vital water points like the Flowing Well. The presence of a Radio Tower and Gaging Sta near the settlement indicates the infrastructure supporting this part of the Indian Reservation during the mid-twentieth century.
