1955 Map of Dead Horse Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this 1955 survey of the South Dakota backcountry, revealing a landscape defined by its vital water sources and early ranching footprint. Scattered holdings like the Wilson Ranch and Pitts Ranch are situated near deep drainages such as Gillette Canyon and Redbird Canyon, which provided the necessary shelter and resources for high-country livestock operations. The topography is dotted with dozens of named springs, including Gooseberry Spring, Bieral Spring, and Dead Horse Spring, illustrating the importance of every seep and flow in this arid environment.
