1955 Map of Cicero Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Chicago Burlington And Quincy tracks follow the narrow valley of Beaver Creek through this mid-century survey of the Black Hills. The landscape is defined by its institutional and extractive history, centered on the extensive State Sanatorium and a cluster of mines scattered across the forested slopes of Cicero Peak. Near the rail line, the rural landscape is anchored by educational and agricultural markers like Evergreen Sch, Mayo Sch, and several family-held tracts including Winters Ranch and Sutherland Ranch. This 1955 field check, published by the Geological Survey and the Atomic Energy Commission, highlights a transition in the local economy as traditional ranching and timber coexist with specialized mining operations like the Rose Quartz Mine and Beecher No 2 Mines. The rugged topography, marked by Bowman Ridge and the Lake of the Pines, illustrates the isolation of these high-country settlements during the post-war era.
