1969 Map of St. Francis SE

About this map

The Rosebud Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across this high plains landscape at the end of the 1960s, marking a region defined by extensive drainage systems and rural isolation. Bull Creek and Dry Creek wind through the terrain, illustrating the natural watercourses that shaped early ranching and tribal lands. A significant cultural landmark is the Pure Water Cem, which serves as a vital point of reference for genealogists tracing families in this part of Todd Co Cherry Co. The map also delineates the state line at South Dakota Nebraska, showing how political boundaries intersect with the physical geography of the Missouri River Basin development area. Topography here is captured with fine detail, including red dashed lines that indicate the specific fence and field lines visible from 1966 aerial photography.
