1972 Map of Stamford NW

About this map

The northern edge of Belvidere is captured in this 1972 survey, centered on the drainage systems of central South Dakota's grasslands. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Brave Bull Creek and its tributary, the West Fork Brave Bull Creek, which carve intricate patterns across the terrain. Along the southern boundary, local infrastructure is evident near the settlement area, including the Freeman Dam and the Sewage Disp Ponds. To the north, the county line between Haakon County and Jackson County divides the map, marking a transition into more sparsely labeled territory. Further east, Ash Creek cuts through the high plains, illustrating the water-dependent geography of this rural region. This survey provides a precise look at the land and water management features vital to the local economy and ranching culture of the early 1970s.
