1916 Map of Deadwood

About this map

Deadwood and Lead anchor this detailed 1916 survey of South Dakota's mining heartland, updated to reflect revisions through 1913. The map traces the industrial footprint of the northern Black Hills, where the Northwestern Line and Burlington railroads snake through gulches to serve booming gold camps. Settlements like Terraville, Central City, and Maitland are densely packed near the headwaters of Whitewood Creek, illustrating the concentrated extraction and processing centers that defined the era.
