1961 Map of Deadwood South

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Deadwood and Lead anchor this detailed survey of the Black Hills gold mining region as it appeared in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by its industrial history, with numerous Mines scattered across Strawberry Ridge and near the settlement of Galena. Transportation networks are heavily represented by the Burlington Northern railroad and the routes of U.S. 85 and U.S. 385. The map documents the transition between the mining-centric economy and mid-century recreation, featuring the Tomahawk Country Club, Strawberry Hill Campground, and even a Drive-in Theater just south of the main settlements. Smaller communities like Pluma, Brownsville, and Roubaix sit along the creek beds, including Bear Butte Creek and Elk Creek, where many claims were originally staked. Notable peaks such as Pillar Peak and Dome Mountain tower over a maze of gulches, including Whistler Gulch and Pecks Gulch, which were critical to the local topography and resource extraction.
