About this map

Rapid City spreads across the foothills of the Black Hills in this mid-century survey, revealing a period of significant urban expansion and institutional growth. The prominent South Dakota School of Mines anchors the city’s southeastern quadrant, while a network of neighborhood schools like Roosevelt Sch, Beadle Sch, and Wilson Sch illustrates the post-war residential development. To the west, Cowboy Hill and the unique Dinosaur Park provide distinct topographic landmarks above the city's grid.
