USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The town of Custer and its industrial surroundings are captured here in the mid-1950s, a period when the timber and mining economies of the Black Hills were well-established. The map documents a rugged landscape punctuated by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which served remote settlements like Tigerville, Oreville, and Redfern. A significant cultural landmark of the era is the Crazy Horse Carving on Thunderhead Mountain, shown in its early stages of development.
