1951 Map of Fanny Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Fanny Peak and Frannie Peak stand as prominent landmarks along the high ridges of the Black Hills National Forest straddling the Wyoming and South Dakota border. This landscape reflects the intersection of early ranching and education, centered on the L A K Ranch and the isolated Sweet School in the northwest. Water management is a defining feature of the terrain, visible through the L A K Reservoir and a network of named drainages like Stockade Beaver Creek and Whoopup Creek. Mapping updates from the 1970s show the road to Gillette cutting through the southern canyons, while the presence of a Summit Ridge Lookout and various Artesian Wells suggests a history of resource monitoring and livestock support. Geologic activity is noted by an inactive Rock Quarry and a Gravel Pit, marking the shift in local industry by mid-century.
