1954 Map of Fourmile

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Mining operations and remote schoolhouses define this mid-century survey of the Black Hills National Forest. The landscape is heavily marked by mineral extraction, including the Tin Mountain Mine in the north and the New York Mine nestled near Hay Creek. These sites, along with others like the Helen Beryl Mine and White Spar Mine, point to the region's enduring geological significance during the atomic era, a focus underscored by the joint involvement of the Atomic Energy Commission. Small settlements like Fourmile and Ninemile serve as local hubs, supported by rural institutions such as the Fourmile Sch and Sevenmile Sch. The drainage patterns of Lightning Creek and Fourmile Creek carve through the terrain, while landmarks like Castle Rock and the Twin Sisters provide distinct navigational points for those traversing the forest.
