1953 Map of Teton

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Chicago and North Western railroad corridor defines the development of this South Dakota landscape, following the southern banks of the Bad River as it winds through Stanley County. The small settlement of Teton sits as a vital point along these tracks, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural country. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainages including Stranger Creek, Ash Creek, and the curiously named Broken Neck Creek, all of which feed into the primary river valley. These watercourses have carved significant features into the plains, most notably Niggeredge Canyon in the northeast. This 1953 survey, photoinspected in the mid-1970s, captures a moment when the regional economy was tied closely to the rail line and the reliable water of the river bottomlands before major modern infrastructure changes.
