1950 Map of Minnekahta

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Fossil Cycad National Monument stands as a central landmark in this mid-century survey of the Black Hills region. The landscape is defined by the steep-walled Hell Canyon and Falls Canyon, while the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts through the terrain, serving the junction at Minnekahta. This era shows a settled ranching economy, with properties like the Johnson Ranch and Z R Ranch established across the open country of Bradley Flats. High points such as Parker Peak, which includes a lookout tower, provide vantage points over the Harney National Forest. Local education and community life are grounded in the presence of School No 3 and Marty Sch, indicating the spread of rural school districts across Fall River and Custer Counties before modern consolidation.
