1957 Map of Butcher Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Custer State Park and the northern fringes of Wind Cave National Park dominate the western half of this mid-century landscape, characterized by complex drainage systems and prominent ridges. The topographical diversity is evident in features like Butcher Hill, Racetrack Butte, and the expanse of Jolly Flats. The eastern portion of the survey reflects a rural educational network in transition, showing both the active Dry Creek Sch and defunct institutions such as Fairview Sch and French Creek Sch. Transportation and water define the lower elevations, where the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor parallels the winding path of French Creek. In the south, the terrain descends toward Lame Johnny Creek and the confluence of its North and South forks, illustrating the intricate hydrology of Custer County before further modern development.
