1954 Map of Belle Fourche

About this map

Belle Fourche sits at the confluence of the Belle Fourche River and Redwater Creek, serving as a vital hub for Butte County mid-century. The landscape is defined by its extensive irrigation infrastructure, including the Inlet Canal and Redwater Canal, which diverted water to support the region’s agricultural development. The Chicago and North Western railroad bisects the town, anchoring the local economy to the rail network that transported cattle and crops from the Black Hills periphery.
