1958 Map of Four Corners

About this map

The Wyoming and South Dakota state line divides this high-country landscape, where the Black Hills National Forest dominates the eastern half of the sheet. At the junction of several primitive roads and jeep trails, the small settlement of Four Corners sits as a central point for the surrounding prairie and timberlands. Local history is anchored by the St Albert Ch and adjacent St Albert Cem, alongside the Boyd Cem further to the east. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Stanton Draw and Horsethief Canyon, leading toward prominent elevations like Buckhorn Mountain and Mt Pisgah. This 1958 field-checked survey highlights the early infrastructure of the Forest Service, including the Hardy Guard Station, and the presence of localized ranching landmarks like Sanders Corral and the Horton settlement, reflecting a period of active land management and rural livestock operations.
