1954 Map of Scenic SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Cheyenne River winds through this West River landscape, defining the jagged topography between Phiney Flat and a series of prominent elevated landforms known locally as tables. This 1954 survey, updated with 1970s revisions, shows the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cutting across the northeastern corner, following the path of Spring Draw. The map documents a critical transition in the Black Hills periphery, where the rugged breaks of the river valley meet the flat, usable high ground of Kube Table and Hart Table. Significant drainage systems like Spring Creek and Indian Creek carve deep into the plateau, illustrating the erosional patterns characteristic of the Pennington and Custer county line. This map is particularly valuable for tracing historical land use and the original rail corridor through this sparsely settled territory.
