1898 Map of Sundance
USGS Topo · Published 1898About this map
The Bear Lodge Mountains anchor the northwestern portion of this 1894 survey, where Warren Peaks rises as a prominent landmark above the growing settlement of Sundance. This late-19th-century study illustrates the early division of the Black Hills region, capturing the jagged boundary between Crook and Weston counties in Wyoming and Lawrence and Pennington counties in South Dakota. Small outposts like Manhattan, Welcome, and Inyankara are connected by a developing network of trails and secondary roads, while the Burlington & Missouri River R.R. skirts the southwestern corner along Oil Creek. The landscape is defined by deep drainages such as Spottedtail Gulch and Grand Canyon, with isolated peaks like Inyankara Mtn. and the Black Buttes serving as essential reference points for early travelers and homesteaders in this expansive prairie and mountain terrain.
