1956 Map of Pringle

About this map

Pringle sits at a junction of rail and ranching history in the southern Black Hills, centered on the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The mid-century landscape is defined by a series of named family ranches, such as the Bowman Ranch, Tanner Ranch, and Wettergren Ranch, which are distributed across the drainage basins of Beaver Creek and Cold Brook. The area shows significant evidence of early extractive industry with the Myrtle Ann Mine, Townsite Mine, and Lucky Strike Mine all clustered near the town site.
