1954 Map of Belle Fourche

About this map

Belle Fourche serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence where the Belle Fourche River meets Hay Creek. The landscape is defined by the managed flow of water and commerce, featuring an extensive system of levees and the Inlet Canal that redirect the natural drainage of the Redwater River and Crow Creek. The Chicago and North Western railroad bisects the region, supporting the local industry evidenced by numerous Mines and gravel pits scattered near the riverbanks.
