1955 Map of Dead Horse Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land defines this mid-century landscape on the border of Pennington and Custer counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of draws and canyons, including the winding Gillette Canyon and Dead Horse Canyon, which drain the elevated Dead Horse Flats. Scattered ranching outposts like Wilson Ranch and Pitts Ranch mark the sparse human presence in a territory where water sources were the primary landmarks.
