1961 Map of Deadwood South

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The gold-mining legacy of the Black Hills is etched across this 1961 survey, where the heavy industry of Lead and the famous settlement of Deadwood meet the surrounding timberlands. The Burlington Northern railroad winds through the northern gulches, connecting the towns of Pluma and the active mine sites scattered across the terrain. To the south, the landscape transitions into the Black Hills National Forest, revealing smaller communities such as Galena, Brownsville, and Roubaix along the banks of Elk Creek. This map documents a mid-century moment where historical mining infrastructure, like the Aqueduct and various Mines, coexists with newer leisure developments including the Drive-in Theater and the Tomahawk Country Club. From the heights of Strawberry Ridge to the bottom of Grizzly Gulch, the sheet provides a precise record of the roads and watercourses that defined Lawrence County's development.
