1954 Map of Deadman Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this mid-century topographic study, which captures the complex drainage systems and recreational landmarks along the Lawrence and Meade County line. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of peaks like Deadman Mountain and Flagstaff Mountain, while the hydrology of the area is centered on the multiple branches of Elk Creek, Little Elk Creek, and Dry Elk Gulch. Of significant interest for local history and tourism are the subterranean landmarks of Crystal Cave and Wonderland Cave, alongside the municipal utility infrastructure represented by the Sturgis Reservoirs. The presence of the Veteran Lookout Tower indicates the area's ongoing importance for forest fire surveillance during the 1950s. This survey provides a precise look at the road network and terrain before modern development, marking the intersection of public land management and local geological points of interest.
