1959 Map of Stoneville

About this map

Stoneville stands as a primary point of settlement in this northern Meade County landscape, surveyed in the late 1950s. The geography is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably the meandering paths of Red Owl Creek in the north and White Owl Creek to the south. Between these watercourses, the terrain rises toward Chalk Butte, a prominent local landmark that breaks the surrounding prairie. Evidence of rural infrastructure and water management is visible through the presence of a Windmill and smaller seasonal drainages like Coyote Creek. This survey reflects the region's ranching character, capturing the sparse distribution of homesteads and the essential relationship between the land and its limited water sources during this period.
