1984 Map of Whiteman Ranch

About this map

The ranching landscape of West River South Dakota defines this area along the border of Haakon and Stanley Counties. Numerous established family operations are documented across the terrain, including Whiteman Ranch, Alleman Ranch, and Paulson Ranch. The map captures a moment in the mid-1970s and early 1980s when the rural education system still featured local centers like Cheyenne Sch, serving a widely dispersed population. The topography is etched by intermittent drainages such as Hermaphrodite Creek and Lone Tree Creek, which flow toward the North Fork and Sansarc Cr. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Grand Field indicates a designated area within the rolling plains, while Wooden Power Lines trace an essential utility corridor across the open country.
