1954 Map of Wasta NE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Cheyenne River winds through the northwestern corner of this mid-century survey, defining the boundary between Pennington and Meade counties. The landscape is dominated by the erosive drainages of Elk Creek, Cow Creek, and Calf Creek, which cut through the elevated tablelands of Sunnyside and Cedar Butte. This 1954 field-checked map reveals a sparsely settled ranching or farming region, where social life centered on the Sunnyside Sch and labor was supported by features like the Gravel Pit near Cow Flat. The intricate contouring shows the transition from flat upland pastures to the complex breaks and draws leading down toward the river system, providing a clear record of the Missouri River Basin development era.
