1954 Map of Wasta NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds along the northwestern corner of this territory, marking the boundary where Pennington Co meets Meade Co. This Missouri River Basin development survey reveals an arid landscape defined by deep draws and high buttes, centered on the broad elevations of Sunnyside and the plateau of Cow Flat. A network of ephemeral waterways, including Elk Creek, Cow Creek, and Calf Creek, carves through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this South Dakota ranching country. Sparse human infrastructure is focused around the Sunnyside Sch and localized Gravel Pit operations. The presence of Cedar Butte and Hay Draw in the south underscores the geographical isolation of the area during the mid-twentieth century, as mapped by the Department of the Interior.
