1958 Map of Sundance

About this map

Sundance anchors this landscape within the Black Hills National Forest, situated at the foot of the distinctive Sundance Mountain. The 1958 field data highlights a region transitioning from its frontier roots toward mid-century infrastructure, evidenced by the proximity of the Historical Monument (Custer Expedition) to modern developments like a sewage disposal plant and various airstrips. Significant local history sites are scattered across the terrain, including the Mt Moriah Cem and the remote Houston Creek Sch. To the south, the Methodist Ch (in Wyo) is noted as a historical monument for being the site of the first rural Methodist church in Wyoming. The terrain is a mix of high peaks like O'Haver Peak and broad flats such as Beaver Flats, where the local economy is punctuated by the Buck Mine and several gravel pits.
