1980 Map of Zeona

About this map

Zeona sits at the heart of this rural landscape where the North Fork Moreau River and South Fork Moreau River converge in western South Dakota. This 1980 survey captures a region defined by its watercourses and the meeting point of three counties: Perkins, Harding, and Butte. The map provides specific detail for local genealogy and history, documenting the rural community structure through sites like Immanuel Ch and the Ruby Cem. The drainage patterns of Sheep Creek, Spring Creek, and Ash Creek illustrate the hydrologic network that supported ranching and settlement in the Wyandotte and Vrooman areas. These named landmarks and the precise county line intersections offer a clear view of the territorial organization in this part of the state shortly before the turn of the century.
