1961 Map of Lead

About this map

Lead dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, its industrial character marked by the Bald Mountain Mine and the surrounding worker settlements of Terraville and Central City. The mountainous terrain of the Black Hills National Forest is defined by high elevations like Terry Peak and Sugarloaf Mountain, where infrastructure such as a Radio Tower and Lookout Tower occupy the summits. The region's development is closely tied to its resources, shown by the complex network of water features including an Aqueduct and numerous gulches such as Sawpit Gulch and Nevada Gulch.
