USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Custer sits at the southern heart of this mid-century survey, its grid defined by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad and the winding French Creek. The surrounding Black Hills National Forest reveals a landscape transitioning from resource extraction to early modern tourism. While numerous mining sites like the Clara Belle Mine and Gap Lode Mine dot the granite outcrops, the emerging cultural significance of the region is evident at Thunderhead Mountain, where the Crazy Horse Carving is noted during its early years of creation.
