1956 Map of Nahant

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Black Hills National Forest land dominates this 1950s survey, revealing a landscape defined by ranching and timber geography at the Lawrence Co and Pennington Co border. Small mountain settlements such as Dumont and Nahant are centered around the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line, while an Old Railroad Grade winds through the hills, signaling the era's evolving transportation network. The map records numerous family-named landmarks including the Juso Ranch, Buskala Ranch, and Peterson Ranch, providing a high-resolution view of homestead locations in the mid-20th century. Local educational and memorial sites, such as the Nahant Sch and the Ward Cem, anchor the scattered community. The drainage patterns of Rapid Creek and Spearfish Cr illustrate the complex watershed of these high-elevation woods.
