1958 Map of Tinton

About this map

Tinton and Moskee anchor this detailed study of the Wyoming and South Dakota borderlands during the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Black Hills National Forest, where a network of family-held properties like Hogge Ranch, Lincoln Ranch, and Jones Ranch populate the canyons and divides. This era shows a working wilderness characterized by numerous named springs and water sources, such as Balm of Gilead Spring and Cranberry Spring, which were essential for both livestock and early settlements. Unique historical markers like Lone Grave and the Riflepit near Bald Mtn suggest a deeper history of frontier movement and conflict. Geographically, the area is dissected by steep drainages including Red Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon, with the Crook Co Lawrence Co line cutting through the center of this high-country terrain.
