1984 Map of Tinton

About this map

The Tinton Mining District defines this mountainous landscape on the border of Wyoming and South Dakota, where the Black Hills National Forest meets active extraction sites. The high-altitude settlement of Tinton sits at the heart of a dense network of industrial history, surrounded by the Eureka No 1 Mine, Centennial Mine, and Sunshine Mine. This concentration of lode mining activity is balanced by early ranching claims such as the S Nicholas Ranch and J Miller Ranch along the northern creeks. Local genealogy is anchored by the Bean Gulch Cem near the townsite, while the northern edge of the map features the specialized Ranch A National Fish Genetics Laboratory near Dugout Gulch. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Sand Creek and Beaver Creek, providing a detailed look at the interface between federal forest land and private mineral claims.
