1954 Map of Custer

About this map

Custer serves as the primary hub in this mid-century survey of the southern Black Hills. The town sits at the intersection of mountain valleys, with its local economy and infrastructure represented by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line, a Drive-in Theater, and a Cem on the western edge of town. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Harney Peak, the highest point in the region, while the Crazy Horse Carving is noted on Thunderhead Mountain during its early stages of development.
