1950 Map of Flint Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts a vital path through this mid-century landscape of Fall River County, connecting isolated outposts like Chilson Station. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of Hell Canyon, Chilson Canyon, and Buck Canyon as they move toward the broad valley of the Cheyenne River. Within the Harney National Forest, the map documents a transition from active ranching to early resource exploration, evidenced by the presence of an Oil Well and several named cattle operations including Marty Ranch, Gull Ranch, and the remote Line Camp. Cultural markers such as the Gull Sch (Abandoned) suggest a shifting population in this corner of the Black Hills as small rural schools began to close. This 1950 survey, updated by photo-inspection in the late 1970s, captures the area before modern infrastructure altered the primitive road network and forest boundaries.
