1961 Map of Deadwood North

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates the southern half of this landscape, where steep drainages like Slaughterhouse Gulch and Spruce Gulch carve the terrain around Deadwood. This survey, originally field-checked in the early 1960s with late 1970s revisions, reveals the intersection of gold-rush history and mountain topography. Notable landmarks honoring the area's frontier past include the Preacher Smith Monument and the Seth Bullock Grave near the Mt Moriah Cem and White Rocks. To the north, the terrain softens into the Centennial Prairie, where the Chicago and North Western railway skirts Elkhorn Peak to serve the communities of Whitewood and Crook City. The map captures a transition from the industrial and funerary sites clustered in the gulches to the agricultural expansion and early tourism developments, such as the Campground and Trailer Park facilities appearing near the forest boundary.
