1950 Map of Weta

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad bisects this 1950 South Dakota landscape, providing a vital transport corridor through Jackson County. The small settlement of Weta sits along the rail line, representing the essential rural rail-and-ranching hubs of the era. To the north, the terrain transitions into the broken bluffs and draws characterized by Chamberlain Pass and Hughes Pass, where elevation changes mark the divide between drainage basins. The map captures the agricultural and transportation footprint of the mid-century, including the Peterson Ranch and a local Landing Field near Sevenmile Corner. These features, along with the winding courses of Little Buffalo Creek and Fifteenmile Creek, illustrate a period when the development of the Missouri River Basin was shaping the infrastructure and land use of the High Plains.
