1953 Map of Wendte NE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Bad River cuts through the northern corner of this landscape, carving deep relief into the South Dakota prairie during the early 1950s. This survey, conducted as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, captures the rural intersection of Stanley County and Jones County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Crow Eagle Creek and War Creek, which feed into the larger river valley. Social life in this sparsely populated region centered on the Werckman Sch, one of the few named structures in an area dominated by topographical landmarks like the Bloom formation. In the southern portion of the map, the label Banner marks a broad area of the high plains, reflecting the expansive ranching or agricultural divisions of the mid-twentieth century.
