1953 Map of Rapid City West

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Black Hills National Forest dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, where the rugged terrain of the Black Hills meets the expanding edges of Rapid City. The map reveals a community structured around its natural hydrology and early institutional development, with Rapid Creek flowing through the heart of the area and feeding into Canyon Lake. A distinct network of rural and early suburban schools, such as Red Brick Sch and Doty Sch, indicates the distributed settlement patterns of the 1950s.
