1961 Map of Deadwood North

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The northern reaches of the Black Hills are defined here by a transition from the open expanses of Centennial Prairie to the steep, wooded gulches of the Black Hills National Forest. Historical focal points include the frontier mining town of Deadwood, where researchers can locate the Mt Moriah Cem and the Seth Bullock Grave. The landscape is etched with local history, from the Preacher Smith Monument in Slaughterhouse Gulch to the path of the Chicago and North Western railroad as it winds through Whitewood and Crook City. The map reveals a high density of early burial sites and family landmarks like Anderson Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns and the arduous life in these South Dakota highlands. Dominant peaks like Elkhorn Peak and White Rocks provide orientation for the rugged terrain where mining, railroading, and forestry converged.
