1950 Map of Edgemont NE

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Harney National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the rugged Black Hills interface, where isolated homesteads and ranching outposts defined the local geography. Ranching life is documented through named sites like the Johnson Ranch, Robinson Ranch, and Hay Ranch, while the inclusion of the Robinson Sch and White Draw Sch highlights the distribution of small rural school districts across the Custer and Fall River County line. The topography is deeply incised by a network of drainages, including the prominent Red Canyon, Craven Canyon, and Stone Quarry Canyon. Evidence of early industrial and infrastructure efforts appears in the form of an abandoned oil well and the Burlington Dam, illustrating the persistent attempts to manage resources and water in this semi-arid landscape. The map provides a detailed look at the land use and settlement patterns before later modernization altered the area's rural character.
