1953 Map of Hermosa
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Hermosa sits at the junction of rail and river in the mid-1950s, serving as a focal point for the surrounding Black Hills ranching country. The Chicago and North Western railroad bisects the landscape, running parallel to the north-south drainage of Billover Creek and passing directly through the heart of the settlement. The convergence of Battle Creek and Grace Coolidge Creek south of town underscores the importance of reliable water sources in this environment, where the land is marked by numerous Windmill sites and a localized Reservoir.
