1956 Map of Wakpala SW

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Wood Ridge Land dominates this part of the Missouri River Basin, characterized by the deeply incised drainage of Deep Bank Creek and the winding course of Snake Creek. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, notably at Skull Peak, which rises above the surrounding breaks. This 1956 field-checked survey reveals a territory where transportation is dictated by the challenging terrain, with the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad following the natural contours of the creek valleys to navigate the region. The map provides an intricate view of the local topography just as the Department of the Interior was intensifying development programs across the Missouri River Basin. This document captures the physical relationship between the heavy rail infrastructure and the serpentine waterways that carve through the high ridges of Corson County.
