1961 Map of Deadwood South

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Black Hills National Forest dominates this landscape, where mining and tourism define the local geography during the early 1960s. The historic mining towns of Deadwood and Lead occupy the northern edge, connected by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad and the waters of Whitewood Creek. Evidence of the area's extraction history is visible in the numerous mines scattered near Galena and Grizzly Gulch, while signs of post-war recreation appear at the Tomahawk Country Club and the Strawberry Hill Campground along Strawberry Ridge. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of gulches and peaks, including Pillar Peak and Bear Den Mountain, which channel the flow of Bear Butte Creek and Elk Creek through the rugged interior of Lawrence County. Smaller settlements like Brownsville, Pluma, and Roubaix dot the road network near U.S. 85, marking the persistent footprint of mountain habitation.
