1956 Map of Pringle

About this map

Pringle sits at the northern edge of this mid-century survey, serving as a hub for the ranching and mining operations scattered throughout the southern Black Hills. The landscape is defined by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line, which follows the corridor of Beaver Valley past a series of industrial sites, including a Lime Kiln and the Myrtle Ann Mine. This area represents a critical intersection between resource extraction and early federal land preservation, where the boundaries of the Black Hills National Forest meet the western edge of Wind Cave National Park.
