2012 Map of Lead

About this map

The mining history of Lawrence County is etched into the landscape surrounding Terraville and the slopes of Terry Peak. This 2012 survey shows the modern footprint of historical mining settlements like Trojan, Terry, and Gayville, where steep gulches and mountain ridges have long dictated the path of human infrastructure. Roads such as Wharf Mine Rd and Cutting Mine Rd snake through the terrain, connecting high-altitude sites like Bald Mountain and Green Mountain to the narrow valleys below. Cultural sites such as the West Lead Cem and Englewood Cem offer essential points of interest for genealogists tracing families from the Black Hills gold rush era. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the recreational and water-rich corridors of Spearfish Cr and the Hanna Campground, illustrating how this mountain region serves both industrial and leisure pursuits across its many draws and flats.
