1953 Map of Blackhawk

About this map

Piedmont Butte dominates the northwestern landscape of this survey, standing as a prominent landmark on the edge of the Black Hills National Forest. The settlement of Blackhawk serves as a focal point along the Chicago and North Western railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the terrain alongside modern routes like 90. Local life is well-documented through several rural institutions, including Benoit Sch, Holmes Sch, and the Evergreen Sch near the southern boundary.
