1903 Map of Rapid

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Rapid City serves as the focal point for this late nineteenth-century survey, sitting at the junction of the western Black Hills and the eastern plains. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Fort Meade Military Reservation near Sturgis and the early boundaries of the Black Hills National Forest. Transportation routes of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad link settlements like Piedmont and Tilford, while smaller communities such as Pactola and Nemo are established deep within the gulches and canyons to the west.
