A sod homestead built in 1900. Pennington County, South Dakota. Since 1900 this sod house has been standing to mark a farmer's effort to reap wealth from the Great Plains. At the time of its construction there must have been skirmish after skirmish with the cattlemen as the fence of the homesteader narrowed down the range. Then wartime prosperity, with the price of wheat booming. Then the years of intermittent drought, up to the present, and instead of wealth, a bitter battle to achieve mere subsistence on the parched earth

Significance: The Carlsbad Irrigation District is nationally significant as an excellent surviving representation of a large turn-of-the-century reclamation system. The District includes significant engineering features constructed by nineteenth-century private entrepreneurs as well as early twentieth-century features constructed by the United States Reclamation Service. Many of the features were technologically innovative for their day.
