1961 Map of Deadwood South

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Deadwood and Lead anchor this detailed study of the Black Hills mining district as it appeared in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by its deep gulches and high peaks, where extraction and transport dominate the physical geography. The Burlington Northern railroad winds through the terrain, connecting the primary settlements with outlying areas like Pluma and the historic community of Galena. Small mining operations, labeled simply as Mine, are scattered across the Black Hills National Forest, particularly near Strawberry Ridge and Anchor Hill. The presence of an Aqueduct and features like the Tomahawk Country Club and a Drive-in Theater reveal the area's transition from a pure resource extraction zone into a permanent residential and recreation hub. Tracing the drainages of Bear Butte Creek and Whistler Gulch shows how the terrain dictated the placement of early mountain roads and infrastructure.
