1956 Map of Medicine Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Black Hills National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where drainage systems like Slate Creek and Spring Creek carve through the high elevations of the Black Hills. Human settlement is sparse, centered on the small community of Tigerville and ranching outposts such as the Medicine Mtn Ranch. In the northwest, the South Slate Sch represents the localized educational infrastructure of the era, serving the high plateau of Gillette Prairie. Transport and industrial reach are marked by the presence of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line, which skirts the northeastern boundary of the map. The terrain is characterized by numerous named draws and gulches, including the distinctively named Negro Creek and Whitehorse Gulch, leading toward landmarks like Medicine Mountain and Copper Mountain.
