1901 Map of Harney Peak

About this map

Harney Peak towers over a landscape defined by turn-of-the-century extraction and ranching within the Black Hills National Forest. The eastern portion of the map is densely populated with mining operations including the Storm Hill Tin Lode Mine and the Accidental Mine and Mill, reflecting the region's intense industrial activity following the gold and tin rushes. The settlement of Hill City serves as a central hub, while the Sylvan Lake Hotel and the newly established Jewel Cave National Monument indicate the early emergence of the area as a destination for geological tourism.
