1954 Map of Custer
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Custer serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of French Creek and Laughing Water Creek. The landscape is dominated by the granite formations of the Black Hills National Forest, featuring the massive Thunderhead Mountain Crazy Horse Carving and the Harney Peak Lookout Tower. This era of the 1950s shows a balance between traditional resource extraction and the region's burgeoning status as a destination, evidenced by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line running alongside modern developments like a Drive-in Theater.
