1961 Map of Deadwood North

About this map

Black Hills National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this 1961 survey, where the rugged topography drops into the broad expanse of Centennial Prairie. The historic mining and settlement patterns of Lawrence County are clearly visible, anchored by Deadwood at the base of Spruce Gulch. Researchers can find significant local landmarks including the Mt Moriah Cem and the Seth Bullock Grave, alongside the Preacher Smith Monument. The Chicago and North Western railroad corridor follows the winding path of Whitewood Creek, connecting the southern hills to the settlement of Whitewood and the site of Crook City. This era of the map includes purple revisions from 1971, highlighting infrastructure changes like the radio towers at Radio Towers (KDSJ) and local gravel pits.
