1951 Map of Vale NE

About this map

The Belle Fourche River snakes through the southern reaches of this Butte County landscape, defining a complex corridor of water management and agriculture in the early 1950s. This survey, conducted as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, reveals an intricate network of irrigation features designed to sustain the plains, including the North Bank Canal, the Sheffield Lateral, and the Willow Creek Lateral. The presence of several rural schoolhouses, such as Fairview Sch, Webb Sch, and Plainview Sch, indicates a distributed community structure typical of this ranching and farming era.
