1956 Map of Nahant

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The settlement of Nahant sits along the North Fork Rapid Creek as it appeared in the mid-1950s, serving as a focal point for ranching and transport in the heart of the Black Hills Forest. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line tracks along the creek beds, winding through a landscape defined by an extensive network of draws and springs. This survey documents a transition in rural education, noting the Nahant Sch alongside the Dumont Sch (Abandoned), suggesting a shift in local population centers. Numerous family operations are scattered across the terrain, including Juso Ranch, Bull Dog Ranch, and Sasse Ranch. Evidence of earlier infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade north of the current tracks. Significant for genealogists, the map also locates the Ward Cem near Ward Draw, providing a precise record of early homesteading footprints near the boundary of Lawrence and Pennington counties.
