1962 Map of Gillette
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Gillette railhead on the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line anchors this mid-century survey of the Powder River Basin and the western fringes of the Black Hills. High plains ranching and emerging energy extraction define the landscape, notably at the Wyodak Coal Mine and nearby Wyodak Camp. The map documents a network of isolated rural infrastructure, from the Bethlehem Church to numerous schoolhouses like Hendrickson School and Thorn Divide School, which served the scattered homesteads of Campbell and Crook counties.
