1953 Map of Rapid City West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Rapid City and its western fringe are captured here in a period of significant mid-century expansion into the foothills. The map reveals the institutional and civic landscape of the era, from the grounds of Camp Rapid to the Sioux Sanitarium and Bennett Clarkson Hospital. Education is well-represented by a network of rural and suburban schoolhouses including Doty Sch, Winther Sch, and Whispering Pine Sch. This survey highlights the transition from the concentrated urban core near the Chicago and North Western railroad to the recreation-oriented outskirts.
