1954 Map of Hayward

About this map

Hayward sits at the northern edge of this mid-century survey, a settlement defined by the winding course of Battle Creek and its proximity to active mining operations. The landscape is a complex network of drainages including Spokane Creek, Bear Gulch, and Whiskey Gulch, illustrating the rugged topography of the Black Hills. Signs of resource extraction are scattered across the terrain, with a Mine and Mine Dumps noted near the townsite.
