1955 Map of Mt. Coolidge

About this map

Custer State Park dominates this mid-century survey of the Black Hills, revealing a landscape defined by conservation and topography. The map illustrates the convergence of three major public lands: the state park, Black Hills National Forest, and the northern edge of Wind Cave National Park. Prominent landmarks such as Mt Coolidge and its associated lookout tower serve as high-altitude anchors for the surrounding drainage systems, including the complex network of North Fork and South Fork Lame Johnny Creek.
