1958 Map of Tinton

About this map

Tinton and Moskee stand as the primary anchors of human activity in this mid-century survey of the high plateau country straddling the Wyoming South Dakota border. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Black Hills National Forest, where steep drainages like Bear Gulch and Grand Canyon carve through the limestone and granite. A network of family-owned ranching operations, including Seely Ranch, Lincoln Ranch, and Lap Circle Ranch, points to a long-standing agricultural and grazing economy that persisted even as mining and forestry shaped the region's industry.
