1975 Map of Trail City

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Trail City sits at the junction of two South Dakota tribal territories, split by the Standing Rock Indian Reservation and Cheyenne River Indian Reservation boundary. This mid-1970s landscape is defined by the high, open terrain of the Ridgeland, which transitions into a complex network of drainages including Snake Creek to the northwest and the winding Du Charme Creek to the southeast. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts through the center of the townsite, marking the economic lifeline for the small community. Genealogists will find the Trail City Cem clearly marked just outside the main settlement. The geography is further articulated by water features such as Trail City Lake and Handboy Creek, reflecting the importance of water management in the rural Dakotas.
