1954 Map of Deadman Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Black Hills National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic study, showcasing a high-elevation landscape defined by steep drainages and prominent peaks along the Lawrence and Meade County line. Central to the area's surveillance and management is the Veteran Lookout Tower, situated atop a ridge overlooking a complex network of gulches including Deadman Gulch and Bulldog Gulch. The map reveals the critical water infrastructure serving the region, notably the Sturgis Reservoirs fed by Vanocker Creek. Geological and recreational interest points like Bethlehem Cave and Wonderland Cave sit in the southeastern reaches, while the northern terrain is punctuated by massive landmarks such as Deadman Mountain and Bear Butte. This 1950s record captures the forest before more modern developments, preserving the original footprints of drainage systems like Elk Creek and Little Elk Creek.
