1956 Map of Medicine Mountain

About this map

Black Hills National Forest dominates this mid-century topography, characterized by a complex network of draws and gulches. The settlement at Tigerville serves as a focal point along the northeastern edge, situated where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks navigate the winding terrain of the Newton Fork. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, including the South Slate Sch and the Medicine Mtn Ranch, highlighting how human occupation followed the available water sources like Slate Creek and Spring Creek.
