1953 Map of Caputa SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Spring Creek meanders across this mid-century landscape where the Pennington County and Custer County line divides the high plains. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage patterns, including Charles Draw, Indian Trail Draw, and Hibbs Draw, which channel seasonal water toward the primary creek beds. The human footprint in this area is sparse, centered on established landmarks like Lauzon Ranch and the School Section, reflecting a period of ranching and rural land management before significant modern development changed the character of the Black Hills foothills. To the south, the topography rises toward Flag Mountain, while watercourses like Dry Creek and Willow Creek snake through the southern half of the quadrangle. The map also records a small Gravel Pit, indicating localized industry in an otherwise agricultural and natural landscape.
