1951 Map of White River NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The White River meanders across the northern boundary of this central South Dakota landscape, marking the transition between the rolling uplands and the river valley. In the early 1950s, this area of Mellette and Jones Counties was characterized by a sparse network of section-line roads and widely spaced homesteads. Education was localized in rural schoolhouses like Prosperity Flats Sch in the northwest and Paleck Sch further south, both situated on the high ground overlooking the drainage basins. The map captures the rugged drainage patterns of Kaiser Creek and its unnamed tributaries, which carve deeply into the terrain. Local activity is noted by several Gravel Pit locations, essential for maintaining the rural road system, while the terrain label Zickrick and the district of C O D Y orient the viewer to the specific ranching and farming communities of the period.
