1894 Map of Deadwood

About this map

Deadwood and Lead anchor this late-19th-century survey of the Black Hills, showing the region at the peak of its early mining and rail expansion. The landscape is defined by a dense network of gulches and peaks, including Terry Peak and Bald Mtn, which supported a cluster of satellite settlements such as Terraville, Pluma, and Gayville. This map captures the industrial character of the era through the concentration of named gulches like Blacktail Gulch and Two Bit Gulch, which were central to local gold prospecting operations.
