About this map

Black Hills National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, a territory defined by high granite summits and the legacy of the region's mining and carving. The map captures the nascent Crazy Horse Carvings on Thunderhead Mountain, a monumental project in its early decades. Below the prominent Harney Peak, the terrain is etched with the remnants of industrial pursuits, from the Hidden Treasure Mine to the Old Mike Mine.
