1951 Map of Volunteer SE

About this map

The Belle Fourche River winds across the southern reaches of this Meade County landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the dramatic topography of Englishman Butte. Mapped during the early 1950s as part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the area shows a sparse network of unimproved roads and light-duty tracks connecting rural landmarks. The local community center is anchored by the Volunteer Sch, located near the riverbank, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing the early educational history of this western South Dakota region. Narrow drainage systems like Fourmile Creek and Eightmile Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural watershed patterns before modern irrigation or major landscape alterations. A lone Gravel Pit in the southwest corner indicates the modest industrial activity supporting local infrastructure at mid-century.
