1982 Map of West Of Ideal

About this map

Eden Sch stands as a primary local landmark in this prairie landscape of south-central South Dakota during the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Cottonwood Creek in the west and Owl Creek to the east, cutting through the townships of Lone Tree, Greenwood, and Curlew. The land use is characterized by rural section lines and evidence of local industry, specifically several Gravel Pits and a Gravel Pit scattered across the undulating topography. This provisional survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of Tripp County before modern consolidation, documenting the exact placement of these small-scale resource extraction sites and the solitary country schoolhouse that served the surrounding farmsteads.
