1958 Map of Inyan Kara Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Inyan Kara Mountain dominates the northern horizon of this landscape, a prominent peak within the Black Hills National Forest along the Crook and Weston County line. The map captures a high-plains ranching and mining environment in the late 1950s, where rural education was still anchored by isolated schoolhouses like Davis Sch, Tavegia Sch, and the Douglas-Sweet Sch. A unique historical marker, Historical Graves (Two of Custers Men), sits near Inyan Kara Creek, providing a direct link to the 1874 Black Hills Expedition. To the southwest, the industrial footprint of the region is evident at the rail settlements of Clay Spur and Turner, where clay pits and gravel pits are serviced by the Chicago and North Western and Burlington and Quincy railroads. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of drainages, including Skull Creek, Bertha Canyon, and Black Canyon, which defined the travel routes of the Old Sundance Road.
