1961 Map of Deadwood North

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates the rugged southern terrain of this quadrangle, where the storied settlement of Deadwood sits at the base of White Rocks. This 1961 field-checked map, later updated with 1970s revisions, reveals a landscape defined by the legacies of the Black Hills gold rush. Genealogists will find high value in the inclusion of Mt Moriah Cem, the resting place of several legendary frontier figures, alongside the Seth Bullock Grave and the Preacher Smith Monument. The transition from the high peaks like Elkhorn Peak to the sweeping Centennial Prairie illustrates the geography that channeled early transport and settlement. Along the northern reaches, the Chicago and North Western Railroad serves Whitewood, while the site of Crook City marks a significant waypoint on the road to the mines. The map also identifies several local burial sites, including St Ambrose Cem and Oak Ridge Cemetery, providing vital markers for local family history.
