1955 Map of Argyle

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Argyle and its surrounding ranchlands sit at a pivotal transition in the Black Hills, where the high timber of the Black Hills National Forest gives way to deep draws and canyons. This 1955 survey, updated with 1977 revisions, captures a specialized agricultural and industrial landscape defined by isolated family operations such as the Dean Ranch, Nicolls Ranch, and Waisnan Ranch. The local infrastructure is anchored by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which follows the drainage south toward Argyle Canyon. Critical water sources like Dalton Spring and Upper Hand Spring suggest the importance of reliable water in this rugged South Dakota terrain. Notable landmarks for local historians include the Argyle Sch and the industrial activity at the Gravel Pit near Loring Siding.
