1971 Map of Timmer

About this map

The Standing Rock Indian Reservation Boundary marks a significant division across this prairie landscape, where the Cannonball River meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle. In the northeast corner, the small settlement of Timmer is anchored by the presence of St George Ch and the adjacent St George Cem. This area reflects the transition from active rail commerce to a different era, as evidenced by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad Grade cutting across the north. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Louse Creek and Dogtooth Creek, which drain the open ranch lands of the Harmon and Freda regions. The presence of a solitary Gravel Pit and scattered wells suggests the modest industrial footprint of the time amidst the expansive rural sections.
