1977 Map of Mount Rushmore

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mount Rushmore National Memorial stands as the centerpiece of this study, which documents the complex land management and mining history of the southern Black Hills. The map traces a rugged corridor of national monuments and state lands, including Wind Cave National Park and Jewel Cave National Monument. Mining remains a significant presence in the landscape, with documented sites like the Holy Terror Mine near Keystone and the Spokane Mine. Beyond the granite faces and tourism corridors, the regional economy is defined by the Burlington Northern and Chicago and North Western rail lines serving ranching and timber communities like Pringle and Fairburn. Topographic details highlight the dramatic elevation shifts around Harney Peak and the famous granite formations of The Needles and Cathedral Spires.
