1950 Map of Minnekahta

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts a prominent path through this 1950s landscape, crossing the high plains of Bradley Flats and the small settlement of Minnekahta. This era of South Dakota land use is defined by a mix of forestry and private ranching, with the Black Hills National Forest boundary intersecting long-established holdings like the Z R Ranch and Johnson Ranch. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Parker Peak and Matias Peak down into the deep incisions of Chilson Canyon and Stone Quarry Canyon. Water sources such as Cottonwood Springs Creek and Hot Brook drain the highland, while purple map revisions from the late 1970s illustrate the gradual development of the road network and land features since the original 1949 aerial surveys.
