1956 Map of Minnesota Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Rochford sits at the southern edge of this mid-century survey, a period when the industrial footprint of the Black Hills was shifting from active extraction to forest management. The presence of the Montana Mine (Inactive) and the Boxelder Sch (Abandoned) reflects a landscape in transition, where earlier mining and ranching infrastructure was beginning to fade. The high ground is dominated by the Custer Lookout Tower atop Custer Peak, providing a vital fire-watch vantage over the Black Hills National Forest and the namesake Minnesota Ridge.
